When Josh Radford was here last time I had a vision of two cannons. One was on the earth in the American church; it was pointed straight up, with a very large wide mouth and short barrel. Out of the barrel was blasting praise, worship, and prayers going straight up. Above the cannon in the Second Heaven was a thick dense solid overcast cloud. Above the cloud I saw another cannon in the Third Heaven pointed straight down. It was the same kind of cannon. Blasting out of its mouth was all kinds of blessings, answers to prayers, healings, miracles, love, grace, mercy, and glory. Heaven coming down to earth. As I started praising God, I saw the Second Heaven cloud crack open and light started pouring through.
I believe this is the best kind of Spiritual Warfare. It is better than aiming our spiritual cannons horizontally where we might hit people, or down where Satan gets all the attention. He don't care if you are worshiping him or cursing him, as long as it takes our attention away from God.
Because of this vision I started doing research on cannon warfare. In addition, I believe and have heard other prophets say this is a critical year of spiritual warfare. All of the Body of Christ must come together in unity, stop fighting each other and focus our high praise and worship with prayer and fasting toward the Heavens.
Note: Wide mouth cannons were used when the enemy got close. They would load them with grapeshot and/or pieces of chain. Then when fired it would take out lots of the enemy at one time.
We have the enemy sending Jezebel spirits, witches, and satanists into our churches to steal the anointing and cause division, strife, and conflict. As prophets, we must be watchful and warn the Pastor, or deal with the spirits of these people and set them free or cause them to leave. This is close-order, hand-to-hand spiritual warfare. Use a wide mouth spiritual cannon aimed at the second heaven to take out their leaders. Use HIGH PRAISE and WORSHIP, Binding and Loosing, and most important of all, be led by the Holy Spirit! (Don't forget, Faith works by Unconditional Love). We war not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in high places (the second Heaven) Ephesians 6:12.
Jesus Prays for All Believers (John 17:20-23)
“I do not pray for these along, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world my know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."
Then the Holy spirit reminded me of two other kinds of cannon. One is a Loose Cannon,
(Crazy Charismatic) HA! That's what some people think I am. I confess I have been guilty at times. The third one is called, “the Church Canon”. Different spelling, but it can be just as deadly. Googling “Church Canon” I found this definition:
What is a Church Canon
by Modupe Oke
June 6, 2022
The Canon is an ethical and moral code created to guide any church, synagogue or mosque and the believers for living a good life.
A church canon is a standard of faith set down by the leaders of a Christian church. The word “canon” comes from the Greek word “kanon” meaning “measuring stick.” A canon of faith is therefore a measure or rule for determining matters of Christian doctrine and practice, including what books belong in the Bible as well as which traditions have authority over believers.
A New York Times Magazine article from 2013 explored how differences in church canons among Protestants can often be traced back to what one considers essential or non-essential traditions.
A church canon is a set of rules and regulations that govern the operation of a particular church. Church canons are usually adopted by the governing body of a church, such as its board of directors or council. They also may be adopted by the congregation through a vote or in some other manner.
A church canon is a set of rules or guidelines for members of a religious organization.”
Now I see what we, the Body of Christ did. We came together with people with whom we agreed, started a church, put up walls like a fort or castle, and set up our church canon on the wall to keep out anyone who disagreed with us or had a different canon. Then we shot “canon balls” at the other churches and told our people, “don't go over there, they don't believe the way we do, you might get confused, or they have a false doctrine, we have the truth, etc. I have heard this story my whole life.
This is a break in rank, a break in unity in the army of God. How successful satan has been in destroying our power of unity in the Spirit!
The Roman army was able to conquer many nations because of their unity in warfare.
Those who invented the most cruel methods of torture known to man would never use the Cat of Nine Tails on a Roman citizen. The only exception to this was if a Roman soldier broke rank during a battle. The punishment was 20 lashes with the Cat of Nine Tails. Very few men survived just 20 lashes. If they did survive they were horribly disfigured and disabled for life. A Roman soldier would rather die in battle than get the Cat of Nine Tails.
During the Revolutionary War, sometimes the army had to leave a cannon behind because they were being overrun or had to retreat quickly. Because they didn't want the enemy to be able to use that cannon, the gunners carried a bag of square iron nails called spikes with them. The Captain would tell them to spike the cannon. Which meant they would take a hammer and drive a spike into the fuse hole. Since the cannons were made of brass this would make it impossible for the enemy to use. (Square nails were still being used when I was a child.) Jesus was nailed to the cross with 9” long square iron spikes.
Jesus took 40 lashes for us, double what a Roman soldier got for breaking rank.
I believe Jesus took the 40 lashes not only for the healing of our bodies but for the unity of the Body of Christ: for peace, not war with each other, for unity of the Body, not broken ranks.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Many men have tried to unite the Church (Body of Christ), but they have always failed, because it has been by our strength, our power or our might (works of the flesh).
Zechariah. 4:6 ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
The war we have made with our fellow believers in other denominations, or against moves of the Holy Spirit, is like breaking rank and is deserving of the punishment with the Cat of Nine tails.
The Divinity Code book says, in dissecting the meaning of the “CAT OF NINE TAILS”:
from Daniel 6:24 Cat .... means---- a Vicious Attack.
From Luke 17:17 the NINE ... means--------Finality of Judgment.
From Deuteronomy 28: TAIL.......means------- Beneath and Disobedience,
Genesis 3:14.......Cursed,
Isaiah 9:14-15.......False Prophet and Powerful Sting.
When put together, the Cat of Nine Tails, spiritually speaking, means a vicious judgment for disobedience, a powerful sting. Jesus took our punishment for breaking rank.
Let's spike those Church canons. The enemy is overtaking us; don't let him use them against us, retreat to safety, regroup, return to the unity of the first church in the book of Acts.
Proverbs 18:10 The Name of the Lord is a Strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe.
RETREAT to the unity of the Spirit.
Rend the Heavens with our spiritual Cannons turned upward!
Isaiah 64:1-5
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you!
As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake before you!
For when you did awesome things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
You come to the help of those who gladly do right,
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry. How then can we be saved?
Psalm 149:1-9
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion by joyful in their King.
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
The highest form of spiritual warfare is High Praise and Worship.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The chastisement of our peace was upon him.
Let us repent for breaking rank, and BY FAITH accept Jesus' chastisement of 40 lashes in our place allowing Him to unite us by His Spirit. Then we will see what God can do according to Isaiah 64. But wait: we prophets only see in part and every revelation/prophesy is to be tested by scripture, and two or three other prophets. On January 21, 2023, the Wheat Field Prophets had a zoom meeting. And the Lord corrected me, after Laurie read the scripture from Matthew 11:11,12:
“For I tell you the truth, throughout history there has never been a man who surpasses John the Baptizer. Yet the least of those who now experience heaven’s kingdom will become even greater than he. From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of heaven’s kingdom is bursting forth, (there is that cannon in heaven) and passionate people have taken hold of its power."
Then I saw that the Days of Elijah started with John the Baptist, and Jesus had already RENT the heavens when He came down to earth as a baby. That was a good message; but praying for God to rend the Heavens and come down is one way they did spiritual warfare in the OLD Covenant. We are in the NEW, Better Covenant made by Jesus.
Heaven has already been rent; we don't have to pray, “Rend the Heavens and come down”. Jesus already did that. One of the tricks satan uses to diminish our power is to keep us in the Old Testament or Covenant, and under the Law of Sin and Death. I love scriptural songs, but some of them are not applicable for today because they keep us under the Law of the OLD Covenant. Jesus fulfilled the Law and we are free from the law of sin and death. The rest of Isaiah 64, is applicable today.
This is what we need to do now, today;
Joel 2:12,13
12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
We have put up walls around our hearts and hardened them to protect ourselves from being wounded. So many Christians have been wounded in churches.
Let us rend our heart, so the Holy Spirit within us can come out and do His work of bringing peace and unity in the Body. Then we will be ready, as in Song of Songs 4:6-10 (TPT) for our Bridegroom:
Now you are ready, my bride, to come with me as we climb the highest peaks together. Come with me through the archway of trust. We will look down from the crest of the glistening mounts and from the summit of our sublime sanctuary. Together we will wage war in the lion’s den and the leopard’s lair as they watch nightly for their prey.
Notice how the Bride says, in verse 6, “I’ve made up my mind. Until the darkness disappears and the dawn has fully come, in spite of shadows and fears, I will go to the mountaintop with you, the mountain of suffering love and the hill of burning incense. Yes, I will be your bride.”
Looks like we have a choice and can decide if we want to be Christ's Bride.
Further down in verse 10. the King says' “ How satisfying to me, my equal, my bride.”
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
With Christ in us we have the Kingdom of Heaven in us (in our spirits). So everywhere we go we take the Kingdom of Heaven with us, and the ground we walk on becomes Holy Ground. When we walk into a room the atmosphere changes, the same way it did when Jesus walked into a room. Romans 8:37 We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We just have to REND our Hearts and let Him out. Jesus wants to work with us to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.
I believe that when we take communion, we should think about the 40 lashes Jesus took for us, not just for the healing of our bodies, but also for our peace and the unity of the Body of Christ. Then we will start seeing God move, in power and might by His Spirit, and the Glory of God will fill our churches, with every city yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians.2:14 For He Himself is our peace and our bond of unity. He who made both groups—[Jews and Gentiles, and every Schism today ]—into one body and broke down the barrier, the dividing wall [of spiritual antagonism between us], (I added “every Schism” to the Amplified version)
Song; “He is our Peace, He has broken down every wall, He is our peace, He is our Peace.
He is our Peace, He has broken down every wall, He is our peace, He is our Peace.
Cast all your care on Him, for He careth for you, He is our Peace, He is our Peace.
Cast all your care on Him, for He careth for you, He is our Peace, He is our Peace.
