When the Lord stretches forth His hand, things happen. In the Bible, a reference to the Lord and the word “hand” always results in power released and two things take place:
- God’s people in the ongoing porcess of being blessed and
- their enemies porgressively destroyed – eradicated, not just containedWhatever expression of the enemy that has been nipping, whatever belongs to you that he has taken, turn the hand of the Lord loose against that very expression and you will see there are no enemy survivors when from the hand of the Lord. It is fair to ask: Are we really ready for what is about to happen?

The enemy wrongly expects that we will be half-hearted or stop short of completion but we realize this is our time to eradicate the thing, totally. It is humbling to stand by as God deals with people, particularly if you love them; we find ourselves wanting to always step in and to supply comfort for their flesh. Instead, we should allow what God is doing. Hands off. The time has come for deliverance. Our portion is to declare the Lord’s working — His strong HAND.

Stand back and speak with authority: “Spirit of terrorism, spirit of theft in families, and dark forces that alter businesses to steal monetarily from God’s people – the Hand of the Lord is against you! The Hand of the Lord is justice and is upon you as judgment!”

Now, envision your possessions: the things you own, all your stuff; your bank account and your savings accounts and your financial statement – now envision that. If there is not wealth there at the very center producing more wealth, I want you to do this: I want you to see the hand of the Lord come on it. If you have sown righteousness and if you have faithfully given, release the hand of the Lord, right now verbally do that. Right into the center of that we release the hand of the Lord into the camp of the enemy. Now we take back and we plunder what has been taken last year and the year before and the year before and the year before and the year before; years of being plundered by the enemy and stolen from, years of anguish and heartache, years of loss. Right now, we release the hand of the Lord on the loss, on the years of loss, on the years of poverty. The hand of the Lord is against you, poverty, the hand of the Lord be upon you, poverty. The hand of the Lord be upon you agents of poverty and impoverishment. Hallelujah! Now if you’ve still got your eyes closed and you’re still watching that vision, you’re seeing the curls of smoke come up off of it. It’s on fire. It’s on fire. Don’t reach in and try to save anything. Lord, burn up and consume the system that made it that way. Burn up and consume our participation in slavery, our own and others. Hallelujah! Now I release every man and woman declaring this out of the bondage of Egypt and of Babylon. I release you in your brain. Brain chemistry, line up! Line up with God’s word and His heart. Emotions – be healed! Right there – brain chemistry and emotions – if that’s your prayer, you’re going to leave that decay behind today. You’re changed! Go free. Go free. Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Lord! Now pull your children around you, your sons and your daughters, your grandchildren, pull them around you. Get them up close where you can see their eyes. Make sure they’re all there. Make sure everybody is there, gathered around you. Look them in the eye. Look them in the eye. Now with your right hand, I want you to touch each one of them in a symbolically. Right now, I want you to touch them and say, “I release the hand of the Lord against the enemy in your life. I release the Hand of the Lord against the enemy in your life. Do every one of them, take your time. Name them, name them, call them by name. I release the hand of the Lord against the enemy in your life. If you’ve run out of children, get your neighbor’s. Call out their name. Those in your city that are marked for greatness and there’s nobody releasing the hand of the Lord against the enemy in their lives. Hallelujah!

Prophecy
For there are, says the Lord, in fact, enemies turning on themselves right now for destruction. They have literally lost the place of their confidence and in the place of their operation. They have literally lost their bearings in confusion and they are turning on one another in desperation for something to destroy. For I have removed your seed and your seed’s seed from their grasp, and I have removed them from the influence of their grasp, and they are hysterical for something to corrupt and destroy. And as they turn on one another, their confusion will open the door for you to go in and plunder their camp. So the time is right and this is the opportunity for you to lead the way right into that pit. Go in and bring back the things that have been taken, year after year after year. Name them and as you name them I will bring them out and put them in your possession for destruction. Take no prisoners, says the Lord, and save no thing. Do not reserve anything as a souvenir, but thoroughly burn and purge it all and speak of it no more! Speak of it no more! Speak of it no more! For I am the Lord, and I am jealous over you, your children and your children’s children and I will not share them with another. I, the Lord, am the great God. I am the Mighty One, I am the Enthroned One, and I am administrating my kingdom with perfect justice! You will no longer say, “I don’t think that’s fair,” for you have come into the vicinity of my authority, and you will receive from Me perfect justice and the thought that I would be unfair is illegal in this place. So I’ve made a path and created an entranceway and given you a portal, and the wisdom I’m putting in your heart today is to go down that path and through that portal and my word to you is: there are great days ahead for you and for your household. I am ready to reward righteousness.

Amen. Amen!
