Positioned to War – Part 3 (Ep.6)
We continue to discuss the topic “When God Puts You in Position to War. My Guest Elder and Author Deborah Jones from United Nations Church New York, in Springfield Gardens, NY. She will speak about her experiences as a minister in the workplace. She will reveal the challenges as well as the victories of being obedient. She will also speak of some Encounters and Visions the Lord opened her eyes to see while in a position to war.
She says, women wear a multiplicity of different hats. She says she is a child of God first and foremost. However, she’s a mother, and a grandmother, an elder in her church and with that comes teaching and preaching and evangelizing through our outreach, and anything that is asked to put her hands to or she sees a need. She wrote her first children’s book titled, Noah Makes a Difference.”
God still puts together an Elizabeth and Mary relationship between Women as he did between Prophet Lisa and myself. The world tries to pit women against each other but thank God that he allows us to come together, for the glory of God, and so we thank God for that, and the length of time we’ve remained connected.
The Lord is connecting women today as he did for us especially where there is so much darkness, where the enemy has encroached throughout the land. We are preparing to take it back by partnering shoulder to shoulder flanking one another to establish the kingdom in the workplace. We are all peers, co-laborers, with the hierarchy of Apostles, Prophets and Teachers, the five-fold gifts taking their places and positions. There are no lone rangers anymore. We all work together, love one another and are all in covenant together.
Elder Jones speaks of her experiences.
I’m going to share something really heavy. I’m in the midst of around 40 to 50 people in the building where I worked. I’m sitting there one morning and God showed me visions before but this morning I’m sitting there and I see what literally shook me to my core. I saw dimness and I looked to my left and to my right in front of me and behind me and everyone was walking around with a demon attached to them on their back like a backpack. It really rocked me. I hadn't seen anything like this before, and God said you know that army and kings it’s more of us than it is of them. That allowed me some comfort but I prayed and I prayed and asked, why did you show me this God? What he allowed me to know through prayer is that he was showing me that it wasn’t that the people were evil and wicked but there was a spirit of heaviness that was sent to that building. It was weighing on the people and that’s why when I saw it I saw it as backpacks because it was the weight and that spirit was sent to weigh the people down, it was a burden spirit where whether it was the health, the family, or their finances, everything they were weighted down and they walked around depressed.
I was just doing my time, going to and from work, minding my business, but God said not so. He allows us to know that he does have us in position on purpose. If we allow ourselves to be available to Him, he will show us what that need is, and so after I prayed, God had me to come in very early in the mornings with anointing oil, and from the front door to the back door I began to anoint every workstation, every seat in the building, praying as I went to each location. Now my eyes opened to know the people and not just walk through. How can I hear the Holy Spirit speak to me in the way he desires about this person if I have no interaction. If God places you directly in a place, we must avail yourself to the Holy Spirit.
As we partner, sometimes the Lord doesn’t allow us to collaborate to make sure we stay on track with the assignment. Make sure we don’t get caught up in each other and what we think, it must be all God.
It isn't until later that we can see, looking back, how the Lord set everything in place. We just plowed until the season for plowing was over. He humbled me in many ways and taught me to be kind and long-suffering through my process. I believe in various ways I found obedience in that area.
I was forced to be kind to a person who wreaked havoc in the building. Although I tried to avoid this person, the Lord instructed me to be kind. Through that obedience, I was blessed. He showed me how the foolish things confound the wise.
Encouragement for Educators
I would have to go back to love. We just assumed because people have children that they are training them up right and that they are teaching them love and they’re showing them love and compassion and all these things. It can’t be so, if we look in the land and we see what’s taking place. The hate and evilness we see. Where’s the love? If teachers, you know I’m sure they love what they do, and it’s a very hard task. But teach them what they’re not learning at home. Let them know that somebody loves them, let them know how to love others. Unfortunately, we can’t tell them, as teachers you can’t tell them God is love. However, there are ways to show children that they are loved until it becomes contagious. It becomes a place where it just transfers over and over because if our children are loving each other and if that was enrooted in them, the world would look different. We see the world today, the hatred, the bigotry. Love outshines all those things.
Reading should be emphasized. I’m just reminded reemphasizing the importance of reading will take children to places that they may have never been and may never go. But when they get there if they do go they may embrace where they are instead of fearing. It's because of fear that we are separate. Teachers are such a huge influence on our children and if they had the equipping to understand that it is love first that should be displayed. We know the challenges and disciplinary issues, and management of the classroom. There must be order! But if we could just show that love to the children, I think they would learn much better. I think their behaviors would come in line. When you speak to children with love and compassion, understanding their behaviors will change, and they will embrace what you are displaying unto them. Love on the kids, and war against the enemy that is encroaching and trying to weigh our children down with heavy burdens.
Anoint your hands so that when you speak to those children You just lay hands on their shoulder and you speak to them and as you’re speaking to them inside your inner man is praying over them and you know everything that’s in them rebuking it out causing God to restore all the things that we don’t know they’re going through and why they’re doing what they’re doing. How they’re doing it you know at home because so much goes on behind closed doors and these poor children you know they’re just true they’re being abused and everything and we just don’t know so really lay hands on them and pray over them.
Noah Makes a Difference
Noah makes a difference is a book about love. It’s a children’s book with a black boy on the cover. But it is a book about diversity. How to love other people who don’t look like them. To have respect and be kind and patient, not to judge those who don’t live where they live. The little black boy does the things that other kids do. They go to the park with their dad and to the grocery store with their mom. They brushed their teeth and when a child sees that no matter what color race nationality, they're going to say I do that. They can make the connection and not feel worlds apart. It’s a book about a pledge, a pledge to be kind, to be nice and never hit anyone or hurt anyone. This pledge is made every day. It will become embedded.
Prayer
Father God, thank You for a time spent with you father God we ask Lord God that you come in even right now God to each and every household of those hearing this podcast today.
