Synopsis "The Hammer and the Rock (in English)"
The Hammer and The Rock are a divine revelation of God's Word given to me, while on assignment in California. God said to me, "My word is like a hammer and my people are like rocks. I will break them, if they do not obey my word." The scripture dropped into my spirit repeatedly, as God began to unfold this new revelation to me regarding His Word. God said to me, "Is not my word like as fire saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29) This book provides insight into how our character, behaviors, and tendencies are like rocks in many ways. Every Godly resistance that we can think of can be reminiscent of rocks, in general. Areas in our lives that require divine healing are rocks as well. Why rocks? Rocks are hard, difficult to break, and tough. We are like rocks, because we too can be hard, difficult to break and tough when it comes to obeying God's word. All of us have rocks that hinder us from moving forward in God. In addition, rocks in our lives hold us hostage to the things of the world. They keep us from being free in God. What are these rocks? These rocks come in the form of lust, fornication, lies, greed, jealousy, etc. Romans 6:16 says, "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Other rocks come in the form of fatigue, heaviness, rejection, insecurity, hate, etc. Each rock, regardless of their kind, can have an adverse effect on our spiritual walk with the Lord. Israel, after being freed from slavery, could not break free of the rocks of slavery. As soon as they got out of Egypt, they wanted to return. For years God dealt with Israel's old rocks of slavery until He decided to wipe out an entire generation. The Hammer and the Rock sheds light on how evil and demonic forces are like rocks, in that they too can be difficult to break. The lady who had a spirit of infirmity in Luke Chapter 13 actually had a rock in her life that needed to be broken. In this account, the Word was the hammer and the condition was the rock. Jesus said to the woman, "Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God " (Luke 13:12-13). Upon the spoken word and laying on of hands, this lady broke free of her condition and her rock was broken. Her spirit of infirmity was a rock to her but the power of the anointing penetrated the rock and she broke free. There is spiritual warfare that goes on all around us. But most importantly, those wars that go on within us, in our families and in our churches, are the rocks that are about to break, in our lives. This book is for those who want to break free of the rocks that have them bound, because God's desire is for us is to live rock free, in Him.
