國度小筆

另一位同工聽到主說：「我們在靈裡的戰爭，相當於約書亞和以色列人在耶利哥和艾城的爭戰。」我們查看約書亞記第十章，記載約書亞和以色列人與五位亞摩利王爭戰。當他們和亞摩利王的軍隊爭戰，那五王走去藏身在瑪基大洞（Makkedah 或 Makida）。
約書亞記第十章記載：
10…耶和華使他們在以色列人面前潰亂…擊殺他們，直到亞西加和瑪基大。

16那五王逃跑，藏在瑪基大洞裏…

24帶出那五王到約書亞面前的時候，約書亞就召了以色列眾人來，對那些和他同去的軍長說：「你們近前來，把腳踏在這些王的頸項上。」他們就近前來，把腳踏在這些王的頸項上。

25約書亞對他們說：「你們不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。應當剛強壯膽，因為耶和華必這樣待你們所要攻打的一切仇敵。」

揭露五個亞摩利王的靈

亞多尼洗德：耶路撒冷王（這是在以色列人取得這城以先的王），代表壓制的靈，會帶來不公平、恐懼、貧窮、混亂和失敗。這靈追趕你的平安，並且企圖注入憂慮和恐懼。這樣的壓制會引發頭痛和胸悶。

何咸：希伯崙王，代表宗教的靈，驅使人進入宗教的行為，企圖以律法主義而非聖靈的引導來使他們得以完全。這靈會導致被動、退縮、道德敗壞、枯竭、厭倦和破壞的人際關係。這靈會引發在屬神的事上無法向前邁進，並且常常抵擋屬靈爭戰。

毗蘭：耶末王，代表圍困的靈，會帶來貧瘠不孕、貧窮、孤立、和死亡。這靈想要你持續地狂野，不受約束，並且太驕傲，以致不願向真正的屬靈權柄降服，因此你就會被孤立。

雅非亞：拉吉王，代表瞎眼的靈。這靈會試著叫你們將燈光都照在自己身上，並且要求你們的權利，你們因此奪取了神的榮耀，並且失去領受從神而來啟示的能力。這靈會敗壞你們屬靈的領悟力，叫你們失去喜樂，並有被捆綁的感覺。

底璧：伊磯倫王，代表控告的靈。這靈尋覓著叫你們去攻擊別人名聲，破壞領袖的名譽，並阻止真實的先知性啟示傳遞出去，或是釋放出假的先知性領受。牠的目的就是要切斷主的聲音，關閉聖徒爭戰的吶喊，並且除去神在你們當中的同在。

當約書亞和以色列人打敗亞摩利軍隊後，約書亞將那五王從洞裏帶出來。約書亞要他的軍長把腳踏在五王的頸項上。這就是聖靈要跟我們每個人說的：「我已經使你們勝過這些敵擋你們、想要把你們帶進衰敗地步的邪靈。這是你們把腳踏在仇敵的頸項上，得著勝利的時刻！」

你在基督裡已經得勝這所有的靈。要將你的腳踏在仇敵的頸項上！
我在十月十六日我們年度「國際聚集」中傳講這個信息，並且全體做先知性動作，公開呈現牠們的失敗。在這信息之後，有好些印證從各方而來。第二天早上，有一位婦人打電話給我們的一位傳道人，問道：「你對五王或瑪基大這個詞認識有多少？主剛剛跟我說，這些是叫基督身體陷在捆綁中的五個靈。」
我們「國際聚集」的一位講員錯過了前一晚的聚會，但是在第二天，他接到一位生意伙伴的電話。他問主是什麼阻延了他們正在著手中的一筆大生意。他感到主說，他們需要看約書亞記第十章，處理五位亞摩利王，這樣他們就會看到生意成就。

我也發現金‧克萊曼（Kim Clement）在2007年9月2日發出以下的預言：神的靈說：「我將震動地。那想要控制我百姓的五種權勢，現在正被震動中。」

我鼓勵大家領受，並且向這五靈宣告你們的得勝。求問聖靈顯明這些靈在哪些方面阻擋了你，並在今天領受你完全的自由。教會已贏得了大勝利！

"IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR FEET ON THE NECK OF THE ENEMY!"

Makida Revelation

It's very rare that I have prophetic dreams. When I had a dream on October 4, I knew it was significant, especially since our staff had been meeting daily for intercession. In my dream, I kept hearing, "Makida is the answer. Makida is the key. Deal with Makida." Then I woke up.

I didn't even know how to spell "Makida," but I wrote it down so that I wouldn't forget. The next day, I tried to look it up. I also asked my daughter-in-law, Jane Hamon, for input since she is good at researching words. She found "machi" and "da" in the concordance and discovered that together they mean "this is the one that will cause you to decrease, to become impoverished, to be depressed."

Then on October 15, the board of directors for Christian International (CI) gathered for our annual meeting. After the necessary legal business, we took some time to seek the Lord and prophesy over the ministry. One member felt that the spiritual warfare CI is facing was not just for our ministry, but for other churches, nations and the Body of Christ as a whole. Another member heard the Lord say that we were spiritually at a battle comparable to the battle Joshua and the Israelites fought after Jericho and Ai. We looked that up and discovered in Joshua 10, the story of Joshua and the Israelites fighting against the five Amorite kings. While they battled the Amorite armies, the five kings went and hid in the cave of Makkedah (same pronunciation as "Makida").

The story in Joshua 10 reads:

Verse 10. "...so the Lord routed them before Israel…and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah...." Verse 16," But these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Makkedah...." Verse 24, "So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, 'Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.' And they drew near and put their feet on their necks. Verse 25, "Then Joshua said to them, 'Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.'"

Five Spirits Being Exposed

We knew the Lord was telling us that we have victory over these five "kings" (demonic spirits) that have been coming against us. Jane Hamon helped research the meaning of each of the king's names to understand the spiritual implications for the Body of Christ today. As you read these brief descriptions of each of them, consider how these spirits may have had access to your life:

Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem (this is before the Israelites took possession), represents a spirit of oppression that leads to injustice, fear, poverty, confusion and defeat. This spirit is after your peace and tries to instill worry and fear. The oppression can cause head pain and constriction in the chest.

Hoham, king of Hebron, represents the spirit of religion, which drives people into religious performance to try to perfect themselves through legalism rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit. This can lead to passivity, retreat, moral corruption, exhaustion, weariness and broken relationships. It causes an inability to move forward in the things of God and will always resist spiritual warfare.

Piram, king of Jarmuth, represents a spirit of besiegement that can lead to barrenness, poverty, isolation and death. It wants to keep you wild, unbridled and too proud to submit to true spiritual authority so that you will be isolated.

Japhia, king of Lachish, represents a spirit of blindness. This spirit will try to get you to shine the light on yourself and demand your rights, so that you take God's glory for yourself and lose the ability to receive revelation from God. It can darken your spiritual understanding, bringing a lack of joy and a feeling of bondage.

Debir, king of Eglon, represents a spirit of accusation. It seeks to get you to attack others' reputations, to bring discredit to leaders, and to stop true prophetic revelation from going forth or to release false prophets. Its goal is to cut off the voice of the Lord, stop the war cry of the saints and remove the presence of God from your midst.

After Joshua and the Israelites defeated the Amorite armies, Joshua had the five kings removed from the cave. Joshua asked his military captains to put their feet on the necks of the five kings. This is what the Holy Spirit is saying to each of us: "I have given you the victory over these spirits that have come against you and tried to bring you into a place of decrease. It's time to put your feet on the neck of the enemy and enforce your victory!"

Jesus is waiting until all enemies are made His footstool. Let your faith arise to realize--the enemies that have been holding you back have been exposed! You have the victory in Christ over all these spirits. Put your feet on their necks!

I preached this message on October 16, at our annual International Gathering and the entire group did prophetic acts to portray putting our feet on the necks of these spirits and displaying their defeat openly. Following that message, confirmations came from several others. The next morning, a woman called one of our ministers and asked, "Do you know anything about the five kings or the word 'Makkedah?' The Lord has just spoken to me and said these are the five spirits that are holding the Body of Christ in bondage."

One of the speakers for the International Gathering missed the previous night's meeting, but the next day, he received a call from a business partner. He asked the Lord what was holding up a large money deal they were working on. He felt the Lord say that they needed to go to Joshua 10 and deal with the five Amorite kings, and then they would see it completed.

I have also learned that Kim Clement prophesied the following on September 2, 2007:

"I will shake the earth. The five powers that have tried to control My people are being shaken now," says the Spirit of God. "You may wonder what it is. I'm giving them to you--what the enemy stole at the turn of the century. Azusa, this they called the revival of the beginning of the last century." Now God says, "A greater than Azusa revival, greater than any century has ever delivered because I am bringing down the five powerful forces and they will never control My people again. I will come into your home over the season that they call My birthday, nevertheless, I will come into your house and what you have lost in 2007, I will give back to you in 2008," says the Spirit of the Living God. --End of Excerpt

I encourage you to accept and decree your victory over these five spirits. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any way these spirits have been holding you back, and receive your complete freedom today! The Church has won a great victory!

Yours in Christ,
