Covered and Empowered
I see a warrior on his knees. The constant attacks of the enemy have been relentless.
He feels totally overpowered, overwhelmed, and pressed down.
They feel crushed, tormented, and smothered into silence and hopelessness. The devil is a cruel tyrant and a bully and a liar.
But I see Jesus come to this Warrior and remove the yoke that was around his neck. He picks him up and pours a Holy Oil upon his head and smears a Precious Perfume that looks like Fire and Honey upon his body and upon his armor and upon his weapons of warfare.
Suddenly, as the Warrior looks into His Savior’s smiling eyes, he is filled with joy and DUNAMIS power. It is miracle working power, an overcoming power.
It an explosive power. It is superhuman power that comes with enormous energy and produces phenomenal, extraordinary, and unparalleled results.
It is the full might and power of an advancing army. The Boldness of a Lion has come upon this Warrior!
That spirit of oppression was DECIMATED in the Majestic Roar of The LORD and His Mighty Yoke-Destroying Power!
“Beloved. You are covered, My Warrior, and you are empowered by My Anointing.
The yoke is destroyed because of the anointing. You are Divinely authorized and appointed and anointed by your God to DEMOLISH strongholds.
You are a prophet, priest, and king unto your God. The devil is a liar and the father of lies.
You have this Treasure of Holy Spirit OIL in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing Power is from Yahweh and not from yourselves.
You may be hard pressed on every side, but you will not be crushed; you may feel perplexed, but you will not dwell in despair; you may be persecuted, but you are never abandoned; you may feel struck down, but you will not be destroyed!
I came to bring you life and life to the overflow. The devil no longer has dominion over you.
I have brought Justice to conquer his injustice. Mercy over judgement, Grace and Salvation to conquer the kingdom of darkness. The lost are found!
I lift you up when he weighs you down. I was crushed that you would be made whole in mind and body and spirit.
I have removed his yoke from you. Though the enemy seeks to destroy you, the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of darkness.
You are MORE than a conqueror through Him who loves you. You are the Army of The LORD, chosen and anointed to demolish every stronghold.
The Fragrance of Christ upon you is a Mighty Weapon against the wiles of the devil.
No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
That Day has come that your yoke of oppression is destroyed because of the Anointing!
Never forget that you have the Victory through The LORD Jesus Christ.
You shall do phenomenal, extraordinary, and unparalleled works by the Power of My Might!
This is the heritage of the Servants of The LORD and your Vindication from Me,” declares The LORD.”
OPPRESSION : The exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. From a Latin word that means to “press upon.” To overburden, weigh down, overwhelm, or overpower. Overpowered by an external force, which results in the feeling of being crushed, put down, smothered, subdued, or even tormented. In the New Testament, the word “oppression” carries the idea of tyranny. It refers to an outside force that is ruling over, subduing, harassing, conquering, or overpowering. The oppressive power of a wicked tyrant; one who rules over and cruelly tyrannizes his subjects, bullying them. It further describes one who is cruel; one who rules in despotism; a dictator; or someone who is oppressive or tyrannical.
ANOINTED : Strong’s Greek 5548: To smear or rub with oil or perfume upon the body. It was used in a medical sense to depict a healing anointing. In the New Testament, the word “chrio” describes the anointing of the Holy Spirit. To anoint by rubbing or pouring olive oil on someone to represent the flow (empowering) of the Holy Spirit. Anointing (literally) involved rubbing olive oil on the head, etc., especially to present someone as divinely-authorized (appointed by God) to serve as prophet, priest or king.
DUNAMIS : Strong’s Greek 1411: From dunamai; force; specially, miraculous power. Explosive, superhuman power that comes with enormous energy and produces phenomenal, extraordinary, and unparalleled results. The full might and power of an advancing army. Used 120 times in the NT. That means dunamis gives you the ability to make an advance into a territory and drive back the forces of hell! (Biblehub)
DECIMATE : Destroy in large numbers. Annihilate, carry off, eliminate, eradicate, extinguish, wipe out.

People have been referring to Jesus as Yahweh a lot. I wouldn’t and will not:
Yahweh[a] was an ancient Levantine deity, the national god of the Israelite kingdoms of Israel and Judah,[1] and later the god of Judaism and its other descendant Abrahamic religions. Though no consensus exists regarding the deity’s origins,[2] scholars generally contend that Yahweh is associated with Seir, Edom, Paran and Teman,[3] and later with Canaan. The origins of his worship reach at least to the early Iron Age, and likely to the Late Bronze Age, if not somewhat earlier.[4]
