Stretched Out Net


One day during my call to pray I had a vision of this creature. I know – it looks a little like something you would see in Jurassic Park! I understood during the intercession that I was praying against an evil spirit of some kind. It did not make sense to me until I read my Bile scripture for that day. There - the Lord brought it all together and helped me to make sense of it.

Psalm 140

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

"1 O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent,
2 those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.
3 Their tongues sting like a snake;the venom of a viper drips from their lips.
Interlude

4 O Lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me. 5 The proud have set a trap to catch me;they have stretched out a net;they have placed traps all along the way.
Interlude

6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God!” Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy! 7 O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle. 8 Lord, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud.
Interlude

9 Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me. 10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can’t escape. 11 Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent. 12 But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor. 13 Surely righteous people are praising your name; the godly will live in your presence."

Sometimes we come under attack. I found it so interesting that in verse 4 - 5 of the Psalm it spoke of setting a trap - they have "stretched out a net." This creature looked to of had tiny arms connected to a web. The creature stretched the web out a far as it could. As I prayed, I saw nothing but the wicked eyes and the large web that extended. The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and after a long while of prayer - the creature left - flew away - it was gone. The battle was over. The intercession was finished.
