"I Saw the Demons Plotting"

In the early hours of the morning on September 26, 2016, I was still asleep when a light in my bedroom caused me to open my eyes, and standing next to me was an angel. I had certainly been aware of angelic activity in a few instances before in my life, but I had never seen an angel in a full and tangible form before. The first thing I noticed were his crystal-like and strikingly green eyes that had an incredible shine and luster. They were sharp and piercing, yet I can best describe them as if love, peace, and acceptance radiated directly from them. I didn’t notice much more about the angel at that moment because the presence of Heaven had filled the room.

The next thing I knew, the angel had taken my hand and we were instantaneously transported to a place above what appeared to be the board room of the enemy, almost as if we were looking in from a one-way window. The room I saw was about the size and shape of a large conference room, and in the middle of the room was a rectangular table with personalized places for each spirit to sit. Their seats were not marked with their names but each one was custom fitted for the size and shape of that spirit, and even their section of the table had an indentation cut out for them to slide into. On the table were what looked like papers or transparent documents and oddly enough a Bible. There was a gray hazy fog or smoke throughout the room, but not too thick to see through.

A Company of Darkness

It seemed to be a staff meeting of some sort, and I could see and hear their discussion on what they think is happening now in the body of Christ. I noticed that there was one large spirit that was leading this meeting and the other spirits in the room were calling him “D.” My angel looked over and said, “D is death and destruction.” D was very tall and overall the largest spirit in the room. He had some type of clothing or material covering his legs, but his torso area was uncovered, except for a large emblem or badge strapped to his chest, and his general shape resembled a male human. His upper body was covered in sores that hung open all the way to his inner structure (I don’t know if it is bone or another substance), similar to what I imagine an extreme case of leprosy would look like, but much worse. The sores were oozing some type of fluid and contained many tiny organisms that didn’t seem to be harming D at all, but rather were worshiping him.

There were many lesser, or prince level, spirits in the room, all smaller than D, but different shapes and sizes from each other, and they did not seem to be any specific gender. They were enraged because of the increase of prayer from the local cities or areas they were assigned to and grumbling that orders and instructions between them were getting lost because of the sound that was rising from the earth and interrupting them.

Another elder leader, who was a little shorter than D and whose head was disproportionate to his body, told these prince spirits to follow the sound back to their cities and to launch attacks of despair, defeat, and hopelessness! He had two fingers missing from his left hand, as if they had been chopped off at some point in the past, and his skin was gray like the lungs of a long-time smoker. He told the other spirits that the people praying don’t know that they’re causing such a disturbance against them. He began to laugh out loud in a very shrill yet confident tone and said, “Their ignorance always saves the day.”

Many of the spirits in the room laughed as well, but another strongman spoke out and said, “Enough with this petty talk! How are we stopping what they are prophesying about the harvest?” and then he screamed, “I can see their faith has increased and we are losing many people to their crying out! It is causing us to step backwards as they take our territories.” This spirit was also gray and had a completely withered and paralyzed right arm. His whole body appeared to be deformed and his shoulder area was especially disjointed. He kept saying how their forces would be defeated if things continued this way and then he said, “He,” talking about the Lord, “is teaching them that He is already in them to take us out.”

Another spirit they called “Blind,” a smaller spirit than the strongmen who had what looked like a very bad case of psoriasis, spoke up and said, “We just need to confuse them and keep them stupid.” They all laughed and said, “That is easy!”

After that a very tall and attractive being walked in that appeared to be part male and part female. This spirit had very long legs and large feet on which it was wearing boots with a very sharply pointed tip. Its hair was long and thick and was wrapped around it like a cape. When it walked in it took over and said, “I have been busy keeping them bound and in their own drama.” It explained how some believers see it but most still don’t recognize it inside the Lord’s house because it controls people through the shroud of religion. They called this being “Jazz.”

My angel asked me, “Do you know Jazz?” and I said, “Yes, that is Jezebel.” He smiled and said, “Yes,” and then said, “Shhhh, listen,” so my attention went back to the meeting. Jazz spoke of a group that is giving it issues and it called that group the “fasted ones.” It began to explain to them it cannot hide from that group; that it had tried coming and going from an area “when a fasted one is around,” but said, “It doesn’t work because they see my trail.”

The Morning Star

My angel said to me, “He (the Lord) already said ‘And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations…and I will give him the morning star.’” He handed me a star that went inside my chest and enlarged inside of me as I stood there.As soon as the star was given to me, D stood up and said, “We have company.”

My angel smiled and said, “Watch. Raise your right hand and speak now the word ‘continue,’” so I did.Right away the one named Blind said, “Come on, focus. Let’s finish this. We need to get back to our stations.” They all seemed distracted but regained their composure.Jazz spoke up and said to D, “How do we defeat these fasted ones?”

D replied, “We do not take them on.”

Jazz was angry at that answer and said, “I have spent too much time in those homes (to give up now),” but D said, “Stop it and move on.” Jazz mumbled, “We will see.”Then D said, “Okay, so we are clear on what to do, let’s keep it tight.” He began to give out orders of pain, loss, and defeat. A large attack across the body of Christ was distraction and disunity, which he said to do by keeping them busy fighting amongst themselves. Then he turned and said to the main leaders, “Let’s make them hungry for Babylon and keep the gossip juicy.”

An Army of Angels

Then, all of a sudden, my spirit jumped and we were surrounded with an army of angels led by Michael. I’m not sure how I knew it was Michael specifically, but there was no doubt in my mind. He was very tall, maybe 14 feet or more, and he was slender but literally exuded strength and confidence. There was no fear or weakness in him at all. His very presence gave me a feeling of safety and peace even though I knew he was ready for war. The angel army stood silent and with what I would describe as a smirk on their faces. It seemed like about 25 seconds went by and then D and Jazz both stood and said, “We are not alone.”When he said that, Michael raised his right arm and motioned for a group of the angels to head into the meeting. The division that Michael called was named “Wave.” They surrounded the meeting and all of the spirits inside the meeting froze; they could not move. Then my angel said, “Let’s go get a closer look,” and the light inside me increased in intensity. I walked with him into the meeting and he said, “See, you can get up close for they have no strength or ability to move with us here.”I turned to ask, “How can we freeze them like this?”He smiled and I could see inside my light that the face of Jesus was there and then my angel said, “You don’t. He does.” Then he said, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” My angel continued, “This is a preview of ‘The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.’”

Then from my light Jesus spoke and said, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” As He spoke the enemies’ faces became distorted. They could not look at us and sweat appeared on all of them. You could feel them tremble internally even though they couldn’t move. Then Michael raised his right arm again and the enemies split and left the room in all different directions.

The Armor of God

As we walked back to my bedroom, just my angel and I, he said, “Remember your armor every day for it keeps you aware of and protected from the schemes of the enemy.” He continued, “It’s a gift of the Kingdom. You asked for the ways of the Kingdom so you will now begin to understand those ways.”Then he said, “Go on back now,” but I said, “No, I want to stay and learn.” I had a million questions running through my mind, but he said, “More later. Keep asking of Him and He will allow me to show you more of our ways.”

I said, “Okay,” and as I looked back from my bed I could see the faces of the angel army standing in the distance waiting for me to awake to send them.I still remember the emotions and the feeling in the room when I had that first encounter. I was in somewhat of a state of shock, of course, but at the same time I had total peace. I was never afraid, and I was immediately in anticipation of what I would be shown next as I began to reflect on what I had just seen and learned.

Something one of the strongmen said taught me so much. When he laughed and said, “Their ignorance always saves the day,” I understood more than ever before why the Lord said through Paul, “I do not want you to be ignorant.” Have you ever looked back and said, “Wow, I was so stupid when I did this or that”? Of course, we all have. Why do some have more knowledge than others? Why does it seem some people understand more than others? Are we all not made in the image of the Lord? We all have the same ability to know Him and be like Him. After hearing those demonic forces make fun of our lack of knowledge and awareness, I had an increase of hunger like never before come over me to make sure I was not one of those ignorant ones. I began to ask for knowledge, and you know He answers when we ask!
