asked the Lord for mercy in bringing this word through me.<br />

For God feels very strongly about what they have done to His<br />

precious anointing, and how they have used the very gifts of<br />

the Spirit to mislead and scatter His dear sheep. I am here to<br />

tell you that when God deals with this thing in strong<br />

judgment, it will not be pretty.<br />

"HIGH HANGS THE GALLOWS"<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are other fifties in the Bible, including Isaiah 3:1-5<br />

where the prophet says that God will strip them of their<br />

anointing because of their sin. And in Haggai 2:14-16 where<br />

it shows the people coming to church expecting to receive<br />

the precious anointing as of old, only to be cheated and<br />

receive less than half measure because of sin and<br />

uncleanness.<br />

But right now I would touch on just one more negative fifty<br />

before I tell you of the best news you've ever heard. Turn<br />

now to the book of Esther. Here we find Esther coming to the<br />

throne, through a wedding. Also we find Haman the Agagite<br />

attempting to kill Mordecai and his people. Esther is clearly a<br />

type of the Bride of Christ. No one will dispute that. Mordecai<br />

is a type of the Sons of God, who were instrumental in<br />

preparing Esther for the Throne, and who sustained and<br />

protected her through a time of great danger. Haman is a<br />

type of the flesh. He was an Agagite. Agag was king of the<br />

Amalekites. Amalek has always been recognized as the flesh<br />

in the Bible. Saul lost his kingdom when he spared Agag.<br />

God had decreed war forever against Amalek, and He will not<br />

be satisfied until all flesh is out of the Church. We can't take<br />

time for the whole story, but now we find Haman building a<br />

gallows to hang Mordecai on. Why? Because Mordecai will<br />

not bow to Haman. Praise God, there are Sons being raised<br />

up who will not bow to the flesh! <strong>The</strong>y are not submitting to<br />

the demands of the flesh! <strong>The</strong>y are not submitting to the<br />

demands of the carnal man. So Haman builds a gallows.<br />

Read about it in Esther 5:14...<br />
