Blessing or Curse in The LORD’s Name?
“Watch! For an angel of light seeking to lay claim to a blessing from the mouths of My Prophets, so that the kingdom of darkness can be further built and established in the nations of the earth…”
Blessing or curse in The LORD’s name?
A well known leader whom some of you would all know if I mentioned their name contacted me a few days ago, strongly encouraging me to not only to accept many recent and unfolding events taking place across many nations at this time, but that as a prophet, I should begin to release God’s blessings over these events!
Well after a pretty lengthy conversation, I put down the phone and went into my Prayer Closet.
In that place I began to cry out to The LORD, as I felt an encroaching sense of great confusion and heaviness trying to settle over me.
As I lay prostrate before The LORD, suddenly The Holy Spirit quickened to me (2 Kings 2:23-24).
I immediately recognised the chapter and verses, because I had only just been reading from this very chapter a few days before. Some of you will know it well…!
”From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” Elisha turned around and looked at them, and he cursed them in the name of The LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them!” 2 Kings 2:23-24.
Wow! Yes! The prophet turned towards the enemy that was operating through those boys and ‘in the name of The LORD he cursed’ their words and actions and two bears came out of the woods and killed all 42 boys!
It sounds a bit like when Samson slayed 1000 men with the dried up jaw bone of a donkey. When the anointing of God is released, whether it be upon a dried up jaw bone of a donkey or upon two bears in the woods — we will surely see God moving in unexpected and unprecedented ways in the days ahead, even stranger and yet more mysterious ways! God’s ways are not our ways!
As I began to read again through this gruesome account, I inquired of The LORD, “Father what are you saying…” …and The LORD began to speak to me saying…
“Daughter, My Prophets carry the Power and Authority both to Bless and to Curse in My Name; both to release Justice or Judgement, Life or Death…
Therefore, My Prophets must learn and discern well in these days of great shaking, sifting and separating, what I would have them Bless in My Name and what I would have them Curse in My Name.
My Prophets must stay laser focused on where the battle lies… Not against flesh and blood — but against the powers and principalities of darkness.
Like My Prophet Elisha, he recognised the voice of the enemy and he discerned the agenda of the devourer that was ‘disguised as innocent and harmless’.
Yet! My Prophet knew the schemes of Satan that was warring against his destiny and against My Kingdom Purposes being established in the earth, and in boldness, he cursed the unrighteous roots before there came a harvest of defiled and corrupt fruits.
Daughter, in this hour, I have given My Prophets the mandate to uproot and to tear-down, to build and to plant in the nations.
My Prophets must bless what I bless and curse what I curse.
Daughter, Watch and Pray!
Be wise with the power of your tongue and be sure to rightly align your words with the plumbline of My Word.
Remember that the enemy comes as an angel of light seeking to lay claim to a blessing from the mouths of My Prophets in order to further build and establish his kingdom of darkness in the nations of the earth!”
Friends, as I heard The LORD speak these powerful and poignant words to my heart, I felt The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD fill my room.
Let us be careful in this hour, let us be wise with our words. For when we, ‘Decree a thing’…. ‘it shall be established’ for us!
I believe no matter how fierce the battle rages, we must continue to resist the temptation to see from a ‘flesh and blood’ perspective, or the battle will surely be lost.
But rather, let us see and recognise what lies behind the veil of deception, and like the Prophet Elisha, let us position and arm ourselves with the weapons that are not carnal but spiritual to the pulling down of every satanic stronghold. For our fight is against the powers of the prince of the air and the hordes of hell.
Let us stay sober and alert, discerning well in these times, making sure that we bless what God blesses and curse what God curses!
Blessings to you all.

Pray for this leader who spoke with Veronika that he/she might have an “ah hah” moment with the Lord and that He would remove the scales of delusion from the eyes of His people that has spread across many nations for the purposes of evil. Let the fear of the Lord rise upon His people and the fear of man fall into the dust.
Keep going Veronika! Have you read the revelations that the Lord has been giving to Rick Riddings and the prayer centre, ‘Succat Hallel’ in Jerusalem? (https://succathallel.com). They are very much in line with your prophecies and have been so for some time. Tune in to them to be encouraged!
A prophet has a choice between serving the Lord and serving another prophet. 1 Kings 13 gives a salutary account of an incidence where a young prophet, who is given a specific instruction from the Lord, instead defers to the instruction of a lying older prophet, which is to the cost of his life.
The prophetic can become an idol to the church, and a much more important distinction than that between the prophetic and the non-prophetic – and one which is a matter of life and of death – is the distinction between the true and the false. Those false prophets with the capability of deceiving the Lord’s people must necessarily be within the church; and in order to be able to deceive many of the Lord’s people, they would also have to be “well known leaders”.
PS. I don’t understand the opening sentence that is highlighted in blue.
BLESSED and cursed in the.NAME of the LORD
Today in times such as this…the demonic legions and regions are in placed through FREE WILL souls. These days are evermore darkened. FASTING, PRAYING, seeking GOD through HIS WORD will evermore shaken perilous Ebola evildoers and their wicked works. JESUS empowered true believers☝☝☝⌚⏰⌚

“This morning the Lord said to me, “Lana, remind My people again that I am faithful; remind My people again of the POWER of My Word and that MY VOICE WINS.” ”
“It’s Time for MOMENTOUS Miracles! What I SAY Still Stands”
Lana Vawser, December 14
James (Jacob) 4:6-10 TPT
But he continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, God resists you [CURSE] when you are PROUD but continually pours out grace [BLESSING] when you are HUMBLE.” So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him [WITH OUR SPEECH] and he will turn and run away from you. Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting. Feel the pain of your sin, be sorrowful and weep! Let your joking around be turned into mourning and your joy into deep humiliation. Be willing to be made low before the Lord and he will exalt you!
Rock on, sister! We are with you!
Remember the Man of God that the LORD sent to King Jeroboam to rebuke him and pronounce doom on his false altar? The LORD told him to return from speaking to the king and go straight on his way back home. But an old prophet wanted him to stop by, so he lied to him and told the younger Man of God that the LORD wanted him to spend the night. The young man did so, and the next day was mauled by a lion because he disobeyed the LORD (I read this just last night in Bible study – 1 Kings 13)!
And don’t forget the enemies of God Sanballat and Geshem who asked Nehemiah to come meet them while the wall around Jerusalem was being rebuilt. He wouldn’t do it because he knew it was a trap! (Neh. 6)
The men of Issachar, who have understanding of the times and know what Israel ought to do are with you! (1 Chronicles 12:32)
Plant that stake in the temple of the enemy, Jael! Drive it into the ground! (Judges 4)
May your line go out unto the ends of the earth! (Psalm 19)
