The Bee and the Bride – Rachel Adamus

The Bee and the Bride

I was praying and asking the Lord if He had a message for His people today, and He told me, “yes,” but at that time, I was not able to write down anything, as I am constantly busy with my two toddlers. Later in the day, we were outdoors, and a certain bumble bee was terrorizing my children, especially my 2 ½-year-old son. I prayed and asked God to send the bee away, but it would not go, and my son was screaming hysterically. It did not sting anyone; it just kept buzzing around us. I suddenly gained keen awareness that something spiritual was going on, so I started commanding the bee to leave in the name of Jesus, but it still did not go. I was mystified. Then, it came to my spirit for me to command my son to look at me. I got very stern and began to command him intensely to look at me. Every moment he looked around to see where the bee was, I commanded him to continue looking at me. It was at that time that the bee left (momentarily), and at the same time, my son was significantly calmed. This happened multiple times. Finally, I got so outraged at the bee and how it kept upsetting my children, that after an hour of this, I took them inside the house, and I heard in my spirit, “Thus says the LORD, I am about to take you into my house of refuge, for I am weary of the terror of Satan that continues to buffet you. Though you are looking at me, yet you are well aware of His constant schemes against you, and I know your great weariness!”
The bee represents the devil and His schemes that aim to draw our focus from our Lord Jesus. However, as we fight the good fight of faith and continue to strive to keep our eyes on Him, we are still feeling the intensity of the battle. Keeping our eyes on Him involves using the Sword of the Word and Truth to continuing re-anchor ourselves against lies and accusations. It does not involve our making human attempts to command the devil to leave. It means speaking the truth of the Word to the devil, as Jesus did during His wilderness temptations. Focusing on Jesus will cause the devil to be thwarted for a brief time, but he always comes back for another attempt. In these last days, the period of time between the return assaults is very small and almost non-existent. Our Lord knows our weariness! He loves us with even more passion than a mother for her children. He will not bear to see us suffer relentlessly forever! He is soon to deliver us by snatching from the lair of Satan into His glorious Kingdom!
Ephesians 6:10-18: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.”
James 4:7: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Matthew 4:1-11: “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’ But he answered, ‘It is written,
“Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“He will command his angels concerning you,”
and
“On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.”’
Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.”‘ Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.”‘
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.”
Matthew 14:28-32: “And Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.”
Psalm 18: I love you, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD;

to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,

and my cry to him reached his ears.
Then the earth reeled and rocked;

the foundations also of the mountains trembled

and quaked, because he was angry.
Smoke went up from his nostrils,

and devouring fire from his mouth;

glowing coals flamed forth from him.
He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,
thick clouds dark with water.
Out of the brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
The LORD also thundered in the heavens,

and the Most High uttered his voice,

hailstones and coals of fire.
And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
Then the channels of the sea were seen,

and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O LORD,

at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
He rescued me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his rules were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
I was blameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
So the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
For it is you who light my lamp;
the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
This God—his way is perfect;

the word of the LORD proves true;

he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?—
the God who equipped me with strength
and made my way blameless.
He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure on the heights.
He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have given me the shield of your salvation,

and your right hand supported me,

and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
and those who hated me I destroyed.
They cried for help, but there was none to save;
they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
I beat them fine as dust before the wind;
I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
You delivered me from strife with the people;

you made me the head of the nations;

people whom I had not known served me.
As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
foreigners came cringing to me.
Foreigners lost heart
and came trembling out of their fortresses.
The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation—
the God who gave me vengeance
and subdued peoples under me,
who rescued me from my enemies;

yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me;

you delivered me from the man of violence.
For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations,
and sing to your name.
Great salvation he brings to his king,

and shows steadfast love to his anointed,
to David and his offspring forever.”
