God’s Majestic War
Horses
By Tommi Femrite
The other day I was reading in Zechariah when I heard the
Lord say, Tell them they are My majestic war horses.
WOW! It sounds pretty
impressive. But
what does it mean?
Majestic
As I continued reading in chapter 10, I understood. The Lord visited His flock and said He would
make them like His majestic horse in battle.
Webster defines majestic as having
majesty. Majesty means stately, magnificent, royal, supreme
greatness and supreme authority.
Sheep
Some Christians are content to be a sheep. Sheep are known to
be meek, social, wanderers, patient, gentle, compliant, submissive and
helpless. They depend on the shepherd to
lead them, fight for them, rescue them, feed them and anoint them. Sheep recognize the voice of their shepherd
and follow him. Jesus is known as the Lamb of
God.
War
Horses
War horses were ridden by generals who tended
them with the greatest care. The general
beautified, honored and valued his steed.
When the adversary came up against the war horse,
they found the horse to be strong, terrifying, forceful, threatening, powerful,
formidable, fearsome and intimidating.
What a great asset for a general in the midst of a battle.
Time
God can make His children timid like sheep and courageous
like war horses.
There is a time for everything.
There is a time to be a sheep, when we think and respond like a
sheep. And,
there is a time to be a war horse, when we think and respond like a war
horse. The difficulty for us comes in
making the shift.
Preparing
for
Job magnificently describes a war horse
in chapter 39:19-35. There in the middle
of a valley stands a strong, muscular stallion preparing for the fight. He lifts his head up high to hear the sounds
and smell the scent of the battle from far away. At the same time
he begins snorting majestically with greatness and authority to release dread,
fear and terror into the atmosphere.
Waiting
Pawing at the ground, he waits in great anticipation of meeting
the well armed enemy face to face. The war horse
laughs, scorns and mocks fear because it has no hold on him. Even the rattling of the weapons against his
side does not distract him from what lies ahead. With enormous expectation
he waits for the voice...the voice of the trumpet.
At Last
Finally the blast of the trumpet is
released along with the war cry. The war horse responds, Aha! He races across the valley with fierceness
and rage pulsing through every fiber of his being towards that which he was created for…to annihilate the adversary.
You are
God’s War Horse
You are God’s majestic war horse. He values you, cares for you and esteems you
as His invincible warrior. He has equipped you with supreme greatness and His
authority. The enemy cowers as you
purposefully advance in his direction, knowing you are a strong, powerful,
terrifying, formidable, intimidating opponent.
Run towards the conflict with great expectation of winning the fight
when God calls you into battle. Walk in the discernment God has gifted you with
so as to not be caught unaware. Laugh at fear. Speak destruction to the enemy’s plans. The sound of your voice releases dread, fear
and terror into the atmosphere.
Make the
Shift
The Captain of the hosts is Jesus. You are following in His
footsteps. No foe can stand
against you in the fray. The Lord calls
you His majestic war horse. Make the paradigm shift from sheep to war
horse. Be swift to answer Him. The
victory is yours. The enemy is doomed. Shift TODAY!
Apostolic, Prophetic
Intercessors
God is raising up, equipping and
empowering Christian wealth builders and distributors throughout the world to
effectively impact nations. The
transference of wealth to enable the transformation of society has always been
on the heart of God. To think Satan
would allow finances to flow abundantly for God’s kingdom purposes without
incredible warfare is foolish.
A task of
such magnitude cannot be accomplished without prayer. But not prayer as we have known it in the
past. Wealth builders, distributors and
influencers NEED professional, purposeful, powerful intercessors. Their prayers can be a tremendous asset and
will make a significant difference. It
is important to recognize that God places intercessors strategically in the
right place at the right time to pray so His kingdom comes and His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
There are
intercessors that can stand in the gap and pray for those called to be wealth
builders and distributors. Apostolic
intercessors come alongside leaders like you, as Aarons and Hurs,
to lift up your arms so you can carry out your assignment with remarkable
success. God has intercessors for
you. They are the missing link in accomplishing the task you have
been called to complete.
It has often been said, “You are only as strong as your weakest
link.” Perhaps your weakest link or missing link
is intercession. Now is the time to get
the spiritual protection you need to expand and increase your business without
experiencing all the attacks from the enemy.
Let intercessors do your fighting alongside you and for you so you have
the time and energy to hear from God on how to build and distribute finances
more effectively for the
It is time
for you to connect with trained apostolic and prophetic intercessors. These intercessors shift from asking God to
fulfill His promises to officially announcing, declaring and decreeing God’s
purpose in every situation. These commanding
actions are released with great faith by the
intercessors. They know what is spoken
will be manifested on earth. Systematic, powerful, anointed intercession paves
the way for you to accomplish the task of building and distributing wealth. Finding or equipping these types of
intercessors can be a challenge.
Apostolic
Intercessors Network (AIN) rises to that challenge to assist you by providing
an
intercessory prayer team. AIN functions in two ways: connecting leaders
with apostolic intercessors and connecting apostolic intercessors with
leaders. These connections enhance the
relationship between the two groups.
Results lead to wealth builders and distributors receiving the
revelation of God’s purposes, plans and strategies, and removing obstacles that
hinder advancement.

with wealth builders and distributors or how to become an intercessor in our

Because of your faithful
giving, we were able to be the vessels God used to bring healing to a 16 year old girl with a severe spinal problem that caused
her great pain in her neck, lower back, hips and knees; she was bent over and
could barely walk using crutches. The
doctors said it was hereditary and there was no hope for healing. BUT GOD… healed
her! She was able to touch her toes,
walk quickly, stand up straight, hold a small child
and smile as big as her face. Her
father, who was a new believer, was also healed of
this same disease. Thank you for making
it possible to go to

your giving this quarter, we will go to
