fasting and prayer pt2

Dear beloved The Lord gave me a dream last night about this fasting group. The game has started, again it is a football game and I am in the stands watching with another man, there are 9 people on each side. The fasting group receives the opening kickoff and two ladies receive it but do not run with the ball or advance it, they just walk off to the sidelines. The first plays not much happens, then a pass to a receiver is complete and a guy breaks loose for a score, fighting through to the goal line for every inch. The good guys score a couple more times, and come close to the goal a couple more and we are winning, but it is a fiercely fought battle. On one play a guy gets gang tackled and really pummeled at the bottom of the pile, but I comment to whoever is beside me, we are making some headway. Interpretation: the battle has started, it is a spiritual battle. Two ladies in the group are not sure they want to play (you are new to fasting and spiritual warfare), the Lord is saying to you stay in there, the battle belongs to the Lord. One player is fighting for every inch right now, the Lord is giving you his strength to keep making gains, and another player is being beat up by the enemy, you feel like the enemy is ganging up on you and working you over at the bottom of the pile. The 9 number on a side indicates fruitfulness or harvest or fruition, this is the time for us as a group and individually to harvest what has been sown, also God's harvest of judgement, individually and as a nation. ...
When Gomer was taken back again by Hosea in Chap.3 of Hosea, Hosea promised to forgive and keep her, and she again became his wife. God is taking America back again and forgiving us of our harlotry, but you will notice is chapter 4 of Hosea that God starts to bring up the sins of Israel and Judah and compare them to the harlotry of Gomer, Hos4:1 Hear the word of the Lord ye children of Israel,for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, no mercy, no knowledge of God in the land. v2 by swearing, lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out and blood touches blood( violence) everywhere. v6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because they have rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children....about a dozen times in chapter 4 God speaks about His people and harlotry, adultery, or whoredom. What is He saying? God says come back to Him, turn from your idolatry, come back into a right relationship with Him. The harvest of judgement is coming upon the land, no one can escape it, only those firmly established on the Rock of Jesus will be saved, He is the rock of stumbling for those who do not believe, i Peter 2:6-8 Hosea 6:1 Come, let us return to the Lord, for He has torn us but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. v2 He will revive us after 2 days. He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him. Beloved, we are third day people,
more than conquerors, victorious in Jesus. Pray for those hesitant to go on in our group, and also for that one at the bottom of the pile. God bless you, in Christ, Jim
