Psalm 91 - The Shield

Tehillim/Psalm 91

The Shield

‘Intercept the Arrows’

Arrow Missile Defense System

Consider printing this out and put it with the War Manual…

this is the ‘shield’ to the ‘sword’

As you know in all wars, there are strategies for offense and for defense… the sword and the shield.

He has drawn out His sword for the offense in Tehillim/Psalm 18. But now He is raising the shield for defense and by His instruction, that is Tehillim/Psalm 91.

If you will recall part one of the ‘War Manual’, He showed me that six winged arrow. Yes, this is for offensive pursuit, but it is also defensive.

See these pictures of the Arrow Missile Defense System that He released into Israel’s hands to help guard the HomeLand. Apparently it has ‘six wings’… four blue and two red.

You may also recall years ago my sending out emails about praying forth the Arrow and thereafter the Arrow Missile system was ‘birthed forth’ by Israel working with Boeing and the U.S. This Arrow defense system is very effective! (The Arrow 3 is due to be out next year, but perhaps He is wanting us to pray that it comes forth soon.)

Beloved, this is who we are in Messiah… Birthing Warriors… because this is also how He describes Himself!:

Isa 42:13 יהוה goes forth like a mighty man. He stirs up ardor like a warrior. He cries out, yea, shout aloud. Over His enemies He shows Himself mighty.

Isa 42:14 “I have kept silent from of old, I have been still and held Myself back. Like a woman in labor I now cry out, I pant and gasp at once.

Isa 42:15 “I lay waste mountains and hills, and I dry up all their plants. And I shall make rivers become coastlands, and I dry up pools.

Isa 42:16 “And I shall lead the blind by a way they have not known – in paths they have not known I lead them. I make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These matters I shall do for them, and I shall not forsake them.

He wars and He births! And in Him we do the same.

And remember His Ephrayim is His arrow… by His Word and by His Spirit we pray… so He calls upon us to pray into the arrow.

Zec 9:13 “For I shall bend Yehuḏah for Me, I shall fill the bow with Ephrayim, and I shall stir up your sons, O Tsiyon, against your sons, O Greece, and I shall make you like the sword of a mighty man.”

Zec 9:14 And יהוה shall appear for them, and His arrow go forth like lightning, and the Master יהוה sound the ram’s horn.

All of this is in and through His strong, capable warring birthing hands. For months He had us praying forth the Arrowand we did not realize until the manifestation of what we were praying was in Israel’s hands ready to intercept missiles… other arrows.

I have no doubt because this was birthed through prayer in and through and from Him, that this is why all went so smoothly. This Arrow was given by Him… this arrow that intercepts other arrows.

He has shown that Tehillim/Psalm 91 must be prayed along with Tehillim/Psalm 18, as the defensive, protectiveSHIELD even as the Arrow Missile Defense System is a defensive shield against missiles.

INTERCEPT THE ARROWS… ‘IT’S ALL ABOUT ANTICIPATION’

Several weeks ago, I received an email from a brother and here it is… please read this… because this is not just about me but about His Warrior Birthing Bride! Remember in Tehillim/Psalm 18, He says that He is teaching our hands to war and this includes defensively:

Hey Constance,

The reason I decided to write you an e-mail is because I want to explain a dream I had with you in it. I think your insight would be helpful.

In my dream, I was viewing an archery target in first person. While I was directly in front of it, arrows would fly across the target. Interestingly,you had mastered the ability to throw an arrow with your hand and intersect the crossing arrows in mid-air. After doing this for several times, you wanted to teach me how to develop the ability.

Before I attempted, you said, "it's all about anticipation."

After that, your face transformed. It first began to tremble and then turned into a metal imprint… I remember the texture of the metal looking likebronze. During the transformation, I got the sensation you were traveling through time.

Then, I remember becoming very doubtful I would be able to succeed with doing such a thing. After several failed attempts, I finally hit a crossing arrow in mid-air….

As for my position in relation to the target, it was directly head on. For the arrows, they were shooting parallel of the target. Also, the projection of your arrows were directly towards the target. That is when my dream…ended… I thought I would explain it to you and get your insight. (END QUOTE)

First, note the bronze and remember this from our ‘Offensive War Manual’ – Psalm 18 the Sword:

TEACHING OUR HANDS TO WAR

Psa 18:33 Making my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places,

Psa 18:34 Teaching my hands for battle, So that my arms shall bend a bow of bronze.

I was working on this report last night and went to bed. He sent me a dream and in the dream I had left a bronze bow out in the yard. While still asleep, I was speaking to my husband, for it was a ‘waking dream’, and I said, ‘I left the bow out…’. He sent this dream because He wanted me to look closer at the verses above, which I have done.

These verses are very much to the intercessors in coming beside Israel in this battle. He is setting us on high places to see this battle and to pray. The word for ‘high places’ is ‘bamah’ and it means elevation. (He is taking us much higher by His Spirit and nothing Obama can do will stop His ‘bamah’) He elevates us by His Spirit as we yield to Him, allowing us to see things from His perspective… prophetically. Remember that encounter I had with Him as He showed Himself as the Big Eagle over Yerushalayim as He pulled me up beside Him?

He will pull us up by His Spirit to see as He sees. He will teach us how to battle, how to pray and intercede…prophetically beloved. Remember Elisha was given His strategies and it was said to the king of Syria, ‘Elisha tells the King of Israel the words you speak in your bedroom!’ He will show us for He still walks through walls and sees all.

The Word ‘teach’ is ‘lamad’ and has a sense of ‘goad’ with His ‘rod’… pushing us in His right direction… even as a good Papa Eagle will push the eaglet out of the nest so they can learn to fly… elevate…see. He diligently instructs us.

The Hebrew above says He teaches our hands to war.

Verse 34 uses ‘bow’ which in Hebrew is the same word for His ‘rainbow’… His promises. This verse says that He will teach us and strengthen us to break the bow of the enemy. It is His promises that will endure, for His ‘bow’ was put in the clouds as a sign to us that He is for us. Because of His promises manifested in the rainbow, we can righteously intercede and expect that His strength manifesting through our intercessions will break the bow of Iran.

‘My arms’ in verse 34 is ‘zeroah’ which means an outstretched arm. He stretched out His arms and hung on the tree of suffering that we might have access to heaven in these times of need. So now, in Him, with an outstretched arm in worship and in intercession, we war righteously. And He Who is YHWH of hosts is leading us. Our outstretched, interceding arms will, in Him, break the bow of the enemy.

The word ‘bronze’ is in the feminine form and is also the root word used in the ‘bronze serpent on the pole lifted up’. His ‘feminine’ counterpart, His Bride by His Spirit, is warring righteously out of His finished work and outstretched arms. We have looked upon Him and have been healed. And out of His victory, He will break the bow of the adversary as we pray in faith believing and declaring His word.

We, His Bride, have a ‘bow of bronze’ that will not break! And in His strength, we can bend the righteous bow of battle by the bronze altar of His blood. We have His promises through His finished work on the tree of suffering and because of this, His bow of being ‘against us’ is forever hung in the clouds and only the promise of His coming in those clouds, remains!

‘If He is for us¸ who can be against us!’ (end quote)

That ‘bronze metal’ that was on my face is the same as in the ‘bronze bow’ that He showed me in the dream.

The bow of bronze that is in the hand of the Bride is by His blood upon the Bronze Altar… the Passover Lamb. And in Him, she is able to war and to break the bow of the enemy in righteous intercession as He leads.

Know that each part of the Tabernacle represents one of His Moedim, Appointed Times, and Passover is represented by the Bronze Altar and the Laver… the blood and the water… born again and mikvehed in Him.

He is making our faces like flint in His overcoming eternal victory regarding this coming conflict… and He is showing us these things prophetically. As was in the brother’s dream:

Before I attempted, you said, "it's all about anticipation."

… I got the sensation you were traveling through time.

Remember what was in the Tehillim/Psalm 18 war manual (will call this the ‘SWORD’ from now on)… that He would ‘announce to us what is to come’… prophetic intelligence:

THE ONE WHO IS TO COME

All of this is to encourage us to yield to Him and His Ruach HaKodesh, the Set-apart Spirit, and He WILL teach us all things and show us what is to come… PROPHETIC INTELLIGENCE!

Joh 14:26 “But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.

Joh 14:27 “Peace I leave with you – My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Joh 16:13 “But when He comes, the Spirit of the Truth, He shall guide you into all the truth. For He shall not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears He shall speak, and He shall announce to you what is to come.

Joh 16:14 “He shall glorify Me, for He shall take of what is Mine and announce it to you.

Joh 16:15 “All that the Father has is Mine. That is why I said that He takes from what is Mine and announces it to you.

We are in a constant battle until He comes… and He has sent His Set-apart Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to teach us, lead us, guide us and ‘announce what is to COME’… prophetic intelligence… by the One Who is to come. (End Quote)

He is teaching us even as in the dream I was teaching our brother… to intercept the arrows!

And I was using my hands to launch these intercepting arrows… PRAYER!

This represents intercepting through prayer and this will manifest in Arrow missile defense… intercepting any missiles coming at Israel. Let us pray for Arrow 3 to be birthed forth in His perfect timing.

This instruction from Him tells us that there will likely be those missiles/arrows launched at Israel and we must pray for the arrows to be intercepted by the arrows of our intercession and the Arrow Missile Defense system.

‘ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN’

And this battle will involve His host as all battles regarding Israel do:

Dan 10:11 And he said to me, “O Dani’ĕl, man greatly appreciated, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” And while he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.

Dan 10:12 And he said to me, “Do not fear, Dani’ĕl, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your Elohim, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.

Dan 10:13 “But the head of the rule of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. And see, Miḵa’ĕl, one of the chief heads, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the sovereigns of Persia.

Dan 10:19 And he said, “Do not fear, O man greatly appreciated! Peace be to you, be strong now, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my master speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Dan 10:20 And he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia. (C: IRAN!) And when I have left, see, the head of Greece shall come. (C: and this is coming also… but now we stand against the prince of Persia)

Dan 10:21 “But let me declare to you what is written in the Scripture of Truth, and there is no one supporting me against these, except Miḵa’ĕl your head.

Rev 12:7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought,

Rev 12:8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer.

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.

Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim,and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down.

Rev 12:11 “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.

In other words, as we pray, He is sending His ‘six winged’ host and others in His host into the battle, for He is YHWH of hosts! And this is also manifesting in the ‘six winged’ arrow missile defense arrows intercepting the arrows!

No matter when this conflict may begin, it is time for His Army of Light to begin to train and battle. We pray every Preparation Day (Fri) at 12:30 (Ber/Gen 12:3) and consider putting this time aside and joining us by His Spirit.

Battles are going on constantly as Daniel 10 makes clear. While Daniel was fasting and praying there was a battle ensuing. According to Revelation 12, His people ‘overcome by the blood of the Lamb’ while the great heavenly battle once again is ensuing! Because He is leading us and we are praying and interceding by His blood and heaven and earth are in agreement, there is overcoming. As His people intercede, Mikael and the host are warring in the heavenlies and the enemy ends up thrown to the earth.

In Him we have a part to do… we are part of His Army of Light.

Instead of focusing on all that the enemy is doing, let us take our positions and keep our faces turned to Him…the One Who is to come!

Let us hear from Him by His Spirit as He teaches us and shows us things to come.

PSALM 91 - THE SHIELD

He is showing that Tehillim/Psalm 91 is the ‘shield in due season’ regarding this Defensive part of His war manual… the SHIELD…‘intercept the arrows’ as we launch prayer in the bronze bow of His overcoming victory. Take His shield, Psalm 91, and His sword, Psalm 18 and pray in His Name:

Tehillim/Psalm 91

The Shield

Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, (the word ‘secret place’ in Hebrew is ‘sether/sithra’ and can mean ‘undercover… covert’! We abide in Him Who was able to ‘walk through the crowd’ undetected when they wanted to kill Him! Let us also pray this for Israel’s IDF/IAF and spies… that they are in the ‘secret hidden place’ in Him and will go undetected by the enemy.) Who abides under the shadow (‘tsel’ - ‘shade’) of the Almighty (‘Shaddai’… in the shade of Shaddai!),

Psa 91:2 He is saying of יהוה, “My refuge (‘machseh’ - ‘shelter’ ‘hope’ ‘trust’) and my stronghold (‘matsudah’- ‘castle’ ‘defense’ ‘strong place’), My Elohim, in whom I trust! (‘batach’ – ‘boldly confident and secure in’) ‘”

Psa 91:3 For He delivers (‘natsal’ – ‘snatches away, defend, deliver, cause to escape without fail, preserve, rescue, recover, save’) you from the snare of a trapper, from the destructive pestilence.

Psa 91:4 He covers (‘sakak’ – ‘entwines, fence, covers, protects’) you with His feathers (‘ebrah’ – ‘feather, wing’), and under His wings (‘kanaph’ – ‘overspreading wing’ as in a canopy, chuppah) you take refuge (‘chasah’ – ‘confidently flee to as a hope and refuge’); Histruth (‘emeth’ – ‘stable, certain trustworthy truth!’) is a shield and armor.

Psa 91:5 You are not afraid of the dread (‘pachad’ – ‘alarm, dread, terror as in terrorism’!) by night, of the arrow (‘chets’ – ‘piercing arrow’ as in a missile) that flies by day,

Psa 91:6 Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, of destruction that ravages at midday.

Psa 91:7 A thousand fall at your side (‘tsad’ – ‘side’ as His side was pierced, opened), and ten thousand at your right hand (‘yamin’ – as He Who was pierced sits at the ‘Yamin’ of YaH the Father!); but it does not come near you. (Because of His side and His right hand!)

Psa 91:8 Only with your eyes you look on, And see the reward (‘shillumah’ – ‘retribution’) of the wrong ones. (We only see this and do not receive this retribution, because of He Whose side was pierced and Who sits at the right hand of power on high. And in Him, we intercede! May many come to Him now and receive of His love, mercy, and REFUGE!)

Psa 91:9 Because you have made יהוה – My refuge, the Most High – your dwelling place, (‘maon’ – ‘abode as in Tabernacle, habitation’) (this verse is the ‘beating heart’ of His shield… we dwell in Him… and He is the Most HIGH! Nothing is higher than He is! And in Him is all covering, and hiding, and shelter and refuge and deliverance. And there, by He Who is our Head, we receive of His strategies and prophetic intelligence and ability to war righteously in Melek-Tsadiq, the Righteous King… from the dwelling place, abode, Tabernacle of Him.)

Psa 91:10 No evil befalls you, and a plague (‘nega’ – ‘inflicted blow, spot of infirmity, stripe, wound’) does not come near your tent (‘ohel’ – ‘tent, tabernacle, covering, home’); (because He bore the ‘nega’ for us and now we are in the shelter, Tabernacle of Him!)

Psa 91:11 For He commands (‘tsava’ – ‘appoints and enjoins’, commands’) His messengers (‘malak’ – ‘messengers, angels’… for He is YHWH TSAVAOT! The Commander of the host of heaven! Yeshayahu/Isaiah 44:6) concerning you, to guard (‘shamar’ – ‘hedge, guard, protect, attend to, watch over’) you in all your ways. (He has commanded, appointed and joined the malak to His people!)

Psa 91:12 They bear you up (‘nasa’ – ‘to lift up’ - did those NASA people know this? J - Also this can mean ‘to armor up’!) in their hands,(the malak, the angelic host, take us up in their hands at His instruction as they surround us as armor) lest you dash your foot against a stone. (If you will recall, this is the verse the enemy tried to tempt our Bridegroom with. Our Master said that He could have called legions of the host to help Him and keep Him from the tree of suffering, but He allowed Himself to be ‘dashed’ that we might be ‘lifted up’ and ‘protected and saved’ in Him, the Resurrected King of Yisrael. Now in Him, let us ‘armor up’ and be ‘lifted up’ to receive of His instruction and strategies and insights and revelations. YHWH of hosts!)

Psa 91:13 You tread (‘darak’ – ‘tread, walk upon’ and can also mean ‘string a bended bow by stepping on it’! We are going to take the bow and arrow of His Word and His Spirit, and tread on the enemy!) upon lion (‘shachal’ – this means ‘the roaring lion’ by faith their mouths are shut! Heb. 11:33) and cobra (‘pethen’ – ‘a twisting, contorting asp’ – step on it! In Him!), young lion (‘kephyr’ – ‘young lion’ and can also mean ‘village covered by walls’… no natural walls of men can keep Him out… He walks through walls and sees all) and serpent(‘tanniym’ – ‘monster, dragon, sea serpent’) you trample under foot (‘ramas’ – ‘trample under, tread upon, oppressively stamp on!’).

Psa 91:14 “Because he cleaves to Me in love (‘chashaq’ – ‘cling to, join, love, delight in’ – CLING TO, CLEAVE TO, HOLD ON TO HIM for all WE’RE WORTH! Do not be beguiled away! Because of our cleaving to our Bridegroom, He delivers, saves us! Yeshua came and spoke to me on 11/14 and said that when I say to ‘hold on to Him for all we’re worth’ that He loves that: ‘This pleases Me mightily’. Let us make His heart glad and encourage and admonish one another as we see His day approaching, to cleave to our precious Bridegroom… to hold onto Him for all we’re worth, for the apostasy is upon us), therefore I deliver him; I set him on high(‘sagab’ – ‘high, safe, and inaccessible!’), because he has known (‘yadah’ – ‘know by having seen, comprehended, observed, recognized, discerned, learned and respected’) My Name. (We have been into the Most Set-apart Place upon Him, the Ladder to heaven, and have seen, comprehended, observed, discerned, learned and respected His Name… we have seen, discerned, know His Name. This is personal, for knowing His Name implies knowing Him)

Psa 91:15 When he calls on Me, I answer (‘anah’ – ‘eye, heed, pay attention, respond’) him; I am with him in distress (‘tsarah’ – ‘tightness, tribulation, pressure, as in birth pangs’); I deliver (‘chalats’ - ‘pull, equip, deliver, draw out’… he ‘delivers’ the ‘baby’ out of the ‘tribulation birthpangs’ and in the process, He equips us!) him and esteem (‘kabad’ – ‘make heavy and weighty with everything good, honor, glory’)him.

Psa 91:16 With long (‘orek’ – ‘forever’) life (‘yom’ – the word here is ‘DAY’. He delivers us in Yeshua and gives us the ‘forever day’! Eternal light and life! No more night! No more darkness!) I satisfy (‘saba’ – ‘to fill to satisfaction, to satiate’!) him, and show (‘ra’ah’ – ‘see, appear’!) him My deliverance.” (‘YESHUA’!!!!) (He is bringing His ‘forever day’ by He Who is the LIGHT! We are assured of His coming, appearing, and He will answer and come when all of His people call! BARUCH HABA B’SHEM YHWH!)
