How do you recognize a false prophet? They aren’t really dressed up in sheep’s clothing. Here are three ways to recognize false prophets according to Scripture.

A python spirit is raging. Less than two weeks ago, I took four steps out of my reading chair when my foot suddenly went numb, and my ankle popped. That all but paralyzed me for several days. I went to church on crutches and preached on God’s will anyway.

On our way to Kansas City for my prophetic intercessors retreat, the plane engine blew, and we had to make an emergency landing. Our car nearly tipped over in the rain, we were locked out of our rental house in the storm, and our church building collapsed back home and was all over the news.

The source? Demons empowered by false-prophet word curses. In this vlog, I share the experience and how to pray in the midst of an onslaught.

The enemy wants to blind seers and is working overtime in this season to fulfill that mandate. Listen in as Jennifer teaches three dangerous traps that can blind seers.

When I was in Europe, I had a vivid dream of water spirits clashing. Some of the creatures were evident. Others I could not recognize. It was dramatic and telling about the season we are in.

I shared about these spirits and what this dream means to you in this special broadcast.

Do you need deliverance? It’s possible. Christians can have demons.

One of the ways you can discern if you need deliverance is what I call the Galatians 5 test.

You can be demonized in your emotions, in your mind, in your body or your physical lusts. But how can you tell if you need deliverance? In Part 1 of this series, I discuss the overwhelming temptation issue.

You can be demonized in your emotions, in your mind, in your body or your physical lusts. But how can you tell if you need deliverance? In part one of this series, Jennifer discusses the Brick Wall issue.

Vindication is the story of my life. Time doesn’t permit me to share all the details of the wrongs I’ve endured from a husband who left me and my daughter behind, to being falsely accused of a crime I did not commit, to being lied on, robbed hundreds of thousands of dollars…

Time doesn’t permit. But God is a vindicator. Our job is to hold out faith and keep our hearts right. In my devotional, Mornings With the Holy Spirit, I share these words God spoke to my heart in a past season:

“Don’t seek to protect yourself. Father is your Protector. Love seeks not its own. I know it’s difficult not to speak up or act out when people are trampling on your perceived rights. But a humble spirit gives up what it deserves. Humility does not fight for its rights. Take your cue from Jesus, who laid down everything that belonged to Him for your sake. Father vindicated Him and blessed Him with more than He gave away. Father will vindicate you in the same way—but you have to get out of His way. Seek the path of humility, and you will find what you really want.”

If you are hurting, if your head is spinning, hold on to hope. Let these 12 vindication promises strengthen you in the midst of this trial:

“Rachel said, ‘God has vindicated me, and He has also heard my voice and has given me a son.’ Therefore she called his name Dan” (Gen. 30:6).

“Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted in the Lord; I will not slip” (Ps. 26:1).

“Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man” (Ps. 43:1).

“O God, save me by Your name, and judge me by Your strength” (Ps. 54:1).

“He who vindicates Me is near; who will contend with Me? Let us stand up to each other. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me” (Isa. 50:8).

“Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated” (Job 13:18, NASB).

“For the Lord will vindicate His people, And will have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their strength is gone, And there is none remaining, bond or free” (Deuteronomy 32:36).

“The Lord has brought about our vindication; Come and let us recount in Zion The work of the Lord our God!” (Jer. 51:10).

“He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday” (Ps. 37:6, MEV).

“For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging righteously” (Ps. 9:4).

“Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, ‘The Lord be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant” (Ps. 35:27, NASB).

Here’s a prayer you can say: Holy Spirit, give me the grace of humility. I choose to lay down my rights and humble myself as Christ did. I know that if I humble myself, You will exalt me over my enemies. Give me a patient spirit so that I will wait on Your vindication with peace.

In times of battle, modern-day warriors would surely choose a machine gun with heavy ammunition over a sling and a stone. But spiritual warriors would do well to adopt the mindset of a slinger.

While the enemy is throwing fiery darts and his puppets are slinging mud on the saints, Davidic warriors who know when to worship and when to run to the battle line are slinging stones and defeating every foe. Indeed, the Bible highlights the warfare ministry of the slingers over and again, and demonstrates the power of the sling.

In a season when the spirit of assassination is working through believers to backbite, accuse and otherwise tear down, the Lord is calling the slingers to arise and face down giants in the spirit. These giants include slander, offense and sabotage, but the slinger can take out any foe the Holy Spirit leads them to battle.

Pick Up Your Slingshot

You’ve probably seen a slingshot. It’s essentially a forked stick with a rubber band. It does not look imposing or intimidating when compared to other battle gear. But it packs a punch–especially when the Holy Spirit’s power propels the stone toward the giant.

David could have faced down Goliath with a full coat of armor but he chose the sling and the stone. I don’t believe it was only because he hadn’t tested Saul’s armor. I believe it was because David was so dependent on God that he didn’t feel the need heavy artillery to take down his enemy. David knew His God was stronger than the Goliath. For all Goliath’s empty threats, David defeated him with a sling and a stone (1 Samuel 17:50)

Of course, slingers need spiritual accuracy. David understood who his enemy was before he ran to the battle line. He was accurate in spirit and accurate with his slingshot. Many warriors today lack accuracy in discerning the real foe and the weaponry demanded to defeat them.

Our aim is to rise up in the spirit of the warriors in Judges 20:16: “Out of all these people there were seven hundred specially chosen men who were left-handed, all of whom could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.”

A Company of Slingers Arising

We know one can put 1,000 to fight and two can put 10,000 to flight (see Deut. 32:20). With that concept in mind, it’s important to understand the power of slinger companies in battle.

When the kings of Israel, Judah and Edom went to battle against the Moabites. First Kings 3:25 tells us, “They demolished the cities, and on every good piece of land every man threw a stone and filled it with stones, and they stopped every spring of water and cut down every good tree. Only in Kir Hareseth did the stones in the wall remain, until the slingers surrounded it and struck it.”

When you go to battle, take the whole armor of God. Take the sword of the Spirit (see Eph. 6). Understand the weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to pull down strongholds (see 2 Cor. 10:4). And don’t forget your sling.

Remember the king’s winning strategy in 2 Chronicles 26:14: “Uzziah prepared for the entire army shields, long spears, helmets, scale armor, bows, and slings for stones.” And when you can’t defeat your enemy along, call for the slingers to surround him.

Are you facing spiritual opposition? There are three questions you need to ask yourself in the video teaching below.

I teach these principles and many others in my new book, 101 Tactics for Spiritual Warfare. You can find the book here.
