By Paul Keith Davis

Bob Jones, Bobby Conner, Wanda, myself and a team of close
friends were
in a recent prophetic conference in Birmingham AL. While
there, the Lord
released a strong anointing during the last service that
also contained
corporate implications. Only He could have orchestrated the
divine
release that took place during that time.

We had as part of our ministry team a Jewish believer who
is recognized,
not only as extremely gifted musician, but also one with
spiritual
understanding of heavenly sound, light and colors. As I was
about to
share that morning following a prophetic word spoken by
Bob, I felt the
Holy Spirit directing us to simply flow with Him and
release prophetic
proclamations as our brother played the piano *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 09:48pm
Not only was
this the
consolidation of the minstrel and prophetic mantles but
also a
demonstration of the one new man ministry.

The Lord seemed to honor our obedience and release a
powerful anointing
to begin to set captives free and impart seeds of destiny
into those who
were in attendance. One of the first enemies the Lord had
us address was
fear. The prevailing spirit of fear was keeping many saints
from
entering their calling and purpose.

Many of the people were experiencing the fear of failure
inhibiting them
from exercising their spiritual gifts and walking in
obedience to the
Holy Spirit *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 09:51pm
Others were overcome with feelings of dread
concerning
their marriage and/or the physical, emotional and spiritual
well-being
of their children. Still others were struggling with
insecurity
concerning their financial well-being and future. All of
these are
legitimate concerns that we can and must transfer to the
Lord for His
care and oversight.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may
exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on
Him, because
He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6 7) *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 09:54pm
The Holy Spirit has made it clear that what transpired that
morning was
a token of the entire body of Christ and must
be applied on a
corporate level. The enemy is seeking to amplify and
overemphasize these
areas to paralyze and neutralize the Lord's Church. We
are also seeing
this take place in the secular arena throughout our nation
as it relates
to the economy.

REVELATION OF GOLIATH

The morning following the conference and these prophetic
releases, Bob
Jones was taken in a extraordinary prophetic encounter and
shown how
these enemies are strategically amplified in this hour in
an attempt to
prohibit the birthing of God's purposes within us.

In the revelation, Bob found himself on a battlefield
similar to the
cir tances Israel discovered in 1 Samuel 17. In this
prophetic
scenario, the adversary once again sent out his
Goliath to contend
with the armies of God. This champion of the enemy army was
named
fear. The would-be conqueror sent to antagonize
and ridicule the
armies of God is fear. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 09:59pm
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and
of love and
of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

Fear is defined as an emotion characterized by alarm,
anxiety, and
tension, often caused by an expectation of danger or pain.
It is a dread
birthed through anxiety and tension, whether real or
imagined, producing
timidity and cowardice.

THREE COMPANIONS OF GOLIATH

In Bob's vision there were three additional spirits
that stood behind
Goliath to work in unison with him. In the
Scriptures, we are told
that Goliath had four brothers. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:10pm
In this experience three
spirits
accompanied the spiritual Goliath and a fourth
was standing off to the
side and had not yet been released into its purpose.

The first companion standing with Goliath was
insanity and mental
instability. The desire of the adversary is to create
such fear in the
hearts of people that he would actually cause impairment in
our thinking
even paving the way for varying forms of insanity.

Insanity is birthed from a root of fear. This form of
delirium is
distinguished through words and actions that we would not
normally
consider. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:14pm
A lack of sound judgment provides options that we
would
ordinarily shun or not even give consideration.

For instance, statistics have proven in recent days that
more people are
turning to drugs and alcohol than prior to the attack on
our nation last
year. Immediately following the events of September 11,
2001, multitudes
of people were filling the churches across America. Now the
statistics
reveal that taverns and drug houses are more popular than a
year ago.
This has been facilitated by a spirit of fear permeating
the hearts of
many causing them to look for relief. This is just one
expression of
spiritual insanity. There can be many,
including unhealthy
relationships, financial irresponsibility
or the excessive pursuit of entertainment and the
squandering of
precious time that we need to redeem for His Kingdom. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:17pm
The second spirit accompanying Goliath was
fear of sickness and
infirmity. It is the plan of our adversary to create
such
insecurity and anxiety of sickness and disease that we
would not pursue
our divine destiny and Heavenly purpose with determination
and faith.

The final adversary standing with Goliath was
fear of financial
failure. Clearly, our nation is experiencing notable
financial
difficulties because of the perceptions of our citizens.
Economic
an*lyst and experts have openly acknowledged that this
downfall is
primarily motivated because of fear and misconceptions by
the general
public. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:21pm
That instability has also been facilitated by
overemphasized reports of
corporate abuse and unscrupulous business leaders by the
secular media.
In reality, the heart of our economy is sound. We believe
it is the
Lord's intent to use this nation to help facilitate the
birthing of
divine purposes and stand in strong support of Israel.
Clearly, there
are issues of repentance and a return to righteousness that
must be
realized within the Church which will release times of
refreshing from
His presence. (Acts 3:19)

EXPOSING THE ENEMIES PLAN

When given opportunity, the prevailing spirit of fear will
give place to
one or all three companions that travel with it. These
spirits are the
ones attempting to defile the camp of the righteous and
hinder the
Church from entering our place of anointing and
fruitfulness. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:24pm
The first
step in overcoming the designs of the enemy is to bring
them out of
darkness and obscurity and into the light. The enemy hates
for his plans
to be exposed. This was explicitly demonstrated in 1 Kings
6:11-12. By
obtaining a clear comprehension of his schemes, we are more
amply able
to fortify ourselves through the word of truth and
appropriate it
through prayer and proclamation.

When Israel heard Goliath they trembled and when they saw
him they fled.
This an*logy is given to portray our adversaries plan and
purpose. It is
the grace of God to allow us to understand these things so
that we can
take our position through faith and prayer to overcome. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:28pm
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to
fear, but you
received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,
Abba, Father. The
Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of
God, and if children, then heirs heirs of God and joint
heirs with
Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be
glorified
together. (Romans 8:15 17)

Fear is a form of bondage and spiritual slavery. It is a
ruthless
taskmaster attempting to steal the seeds of destiny and
purpose being
awakened within the hearts of God's people. The Lord
knew us before the
foundation of the world. Those who belong to Him were in
Him before
creation was fashioned. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:32pm
He foreknew all who would
desperately search for
Him and to those He deposited divine seeds of Kingdom
design and
destiny. Those seeds are now being awakened and activated
within many
and it is our adversaries' determined desire to
prohibit that from
coming into full fruition. We are on the threshold of
another Great
Awakening.

IN THE ORDER OF DAVID

There will be a company of people who arise from the
wilderness, having
conquered the lion and the bear,
with confidence in God's anointing
and willingness to overcome His enemies. The
Davids will be both
worshippers and warriors who have discovered the Lord's
voice in the
wilderness and another they simply will not follow or give
ear to. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:36pm
We
received a token of this reality while in Birmingham. The
warlike
anointing came during times of worship orchestrated and led
by the Holy
Spirit through vessels willing to be yielded to His
anointing.

The spirit of fear functioned as captain of satan's
host. Like David, we
are insufficient in our own strength to overtake this
adversary.
However, we do not come in our own name nor in our strength
but in the
name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel,
whom he has
taunted (1 Samuel 17:45).

SMOOTH STONE OF APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY

Through this experience, the Lord has again shown it will
take the
smooth stone of apostolic authority to destroy
this antagonist and
plunder the camp of the enemy. David was able to bravely
stand before
Goliath because he knew his promise and whose
seed he was *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:40pm
Likewise,
he recognized the seed of corruption and ungodliness from
which Goliath
came. The clear distinctions between the two are going to
become
apparent in the coming season. No longer will the line be
blurred
separating those who belong to the Lord Jesus and those who
have yielded
to ungodliness and corruption.

To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our
enemies, might
serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness
before Him all our
days. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the
Most High; for
you will go on BEFORE THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS; (Luke
1:74-76) *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:45pm
The prophetic promise spoken over John the Baptist
pro nounced
deliverance from our enemies and service to God without the
encumbrances
of fear. The spirit of Elijah being deposited in this
generation will
likewise pro nounce a message of freedom from the enemy of
fear and all
of the entanglements associated with this demonic
champion. It will
provide a message of preparation and restoration to our
inheritance and
promises.

There is presently a challenge coming to the forefront to
confront the
intimidations and trepidations many are experiencing
concerning their
ministries, health, finances and families. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:50pm
Although the brothers of David witnessed the anointing oil
poured upon
him by the prophet Samuel, they were the very ones who
chastised David
for his willingness to confront the champion of the enemy
army.
Nonetheless, that did not deter him from fulfilling his
destiny and
demonstrating the Lord's victory.

We cannot allow chasti t from within our own camp to
hinder us from
this commission and purpose. The demonstration of the Lords
mantle as
Warrior and Captain of the Heavenly Host will overcome
Goliath and
release the armies of God to plunder the camp of the enemy.
Many of our
brethren are held captive by the forces of the adversary. *

endtimes 13.10.08 - 10:55pm
It is the
Lord's desire and intent to free them.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be
shaken, let
us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and
godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28
29)

Presently, we are being given a choice--- faith or fear.
Faith works
through love but anger and disillusionment is the offspring
of fear. *
