Worship Releases Deliverance

Thursday night was really awesome! We received a glimpse of heaven and earth...a work of the Holy Spirit in all of us. So much took place that night. The worship was intense and I believe that the more we press in and the more we join up on Thursdays, the more we will see the hand of God move upon us, around us, and through us.

While we were singing, "Here I am to worship," I saw the heavens open up and the heavenly host coming down upon us...angelic beings dancing around us and worshiping the Lord with us. I strongly sensed that God was pleased with our praise, it was like a sweet fragrance to His nostrils. As the praises were going up, the blessings were coming down on us. It was so beautiful; it was an awesome transition...a transformation in us. Holiness, just an awesome sight.

As we sang, "Open the flood gates of heaven...let it rain," the Lord took us into intercession and wailing for the lost (in the areas of substance abuse and prostitution). He showed me a young man lying on a bed in white sheets, almost naked, and he appeared to be in a rehab or hospital room. Light entered the room and the young man’s body began to tremble and he went into a convulsion...then he suddenly became still, as if he was delivered from drugs.

Then I saw a young girl about to stick a syringe in her arm, and again the light appeared and she dropped the syringe and also went into a convulsion, and deliverance came to this young woman. While all this was happening the Lord prompted me to step out into the aisle and begin to war in the spirit and wail on behalf of the lost individuals from all walks of life. By this time the verse in my heart was "let it rain, let it rain, open the flood gates of heaven and let it rain"...upon the earth, in our homes, schools, in our pastors, let it rain on the just and unjust.

Next I saw fire and smoke, then more rain falling. People were running in the streets and I heard the song clearly, "open the floodgates of heaven, let it rain." I saw a woman running along with the others, and she was holding her hands over her ears screaming. It appeared that the rain was hurting her and the song was driving her nuts. As I stood and watched, the woman began to transform into a demonic being. In fact all the others were transforming as they were running to hide from the rain and the song.

We are doing damage in the spirit realm, and God is going to be glorified through us in all we say and do. We are all kingdom people coming together to fulfill the will of God.
