From the desk of Steve Shultz:
The enemy is like a roaring lion...looking for those he can devour. And God wants to make us keen to the enemy's plans so we know them in advance and can walk right through them. Even if that means being in the Lions' den, which you'll read about in Sandie Freed's article.
We are posting a couple articles today...this one from Sandie Freed and another by Chuck Pierce and his daughter Rebekah Faubion. In these separate articles, you'll find out how to overcome the enemy and be victorious on the other side. I highly recommend that you read both Sandie's and Chuck's words we posted today!
I hope you learn a great deal from Sandie's word...and allow the Lord to reveal to you His great plans over anything the enemy might throw your way! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"What To Do When the Accuser Attempts to Frustrate God's Plans"
Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX
Have you ever had such a disturbing dream that when you awoke you were so relieved it was only a dream? And yet, knowing that many times dreams are from God, you are sure there was a purpose to the dream? I'll bet you have had dreams that are warning dreams, directional dreams and dreams that are for prayer, along with many other types of dreams that affect your divine destiny. Recently, I had one of those dreams – a dream warning me of an enemy that attempts to steal destiny.
In the Lions' Den with the Accuser
Let's go to the story of Daniel being thrown in the Lions' Den (Daniel 6). To a degree, I now had empathy of the terror Daniel must have felt while in the lions' den! Except the lions in my dream were not literal, the lions were actual people who were falsely accusing me! Think of how a lion hunts down its prey and then lunges toward it to make the kill. That is the type of horror I was feeling from my accusers. They were hungry to hurt, to destroy and yes, even devour!
The accusations were cruel, untrue and downright lies! Yet, as every false accusation was hurled against me, it hurt my heart – over and over again. The lies came so swiftly, like darts thrown at a dart board, to hit the mark...and I was the target!
| "Keep believing in what God has declared over your life. Believe that He is watching over His words concerning you and that He will bring those things to pass." |
I heard the voice of the Lord say to me in the dream, "Sandie, this is all coming from the accuser of the Brethren who has come to frustrate My plans for your life. Don't focus on the people hurting your heart; focus on the true enemy, the accuser. The accuser is already defeated, but he will attempt to continue to discredit you and wear you out. Be aware that as you continue to build MY Kingdom, the accuser will attempt to stop your forward progression. Know I am with you and My gracious hand is upon you."
Now, I have learned over the years how to separate the person from the spirit. Therefore, I have been able to continue to walk in love – even through the pain of false accusations. However, I must confess, at times it was not easy at all! Yet, precious Believers, even though my dream involved actual people (who I knew), I am confident that it is the plan of the enemy to falsely accuse us. He often does this through people. But let's remember that people aren't our enemy, the accuser is! The enemy wants to frustrate God's plans for our lives and he will find people to work through to accomplish this. Still, our enemy is satan, the accuser, and it is he that we must defeat! Please keep this in mind as you continue to read... (continue reading)
