Flies and frogs. The Lord has been speaking to me for over a week now about flies and frogs. As the swamp is drained the frogs are croaking louder and louder, while the flies are buzzing around and laying eggs on open wounds and dead things.

These are two animals I do not think much about, but when the Holy Spirit highlights them, I must pay attention. In Revelation 16 frogs are called unclean spirits that come out of the mouth of three creatures, the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. Frogs are voices that are polluting the atmosphere.

Flies are linked biblically to Mark 3:22 where Jesus is accused of using the Lord of the flies in His ministry. “The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” The Holy Spirit told me the flies are lies that are landing on open wounds and laying eggs in order to multiply the lie.

I have been on a prayer retreat for the past four days and when I opened a drawer in the place I am staying a fly came out. As the day went on more than one fly was flying around. I grabbed the fly swatter and killed a total of eight flies, then the Lord said, “Those are the lies that are flying around people. They need to kill them or they will lay eggs on their wound and multiply their lies.”

Today is the end of my prayer retreat, all the flies are dead, and what is amazing is a butterfly was seen. Butterflies represent new life, transformation. Taking out the lies in the spirit, silencing the croaking of the frogs in prayer is how we deal with atmospheric enemies who are seeking to divide. For Jesus said in Mark 3:24 “, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”

God is dealing with the flies and frogs in the nations, in our churches, in our families, in our lives. The reason for this is because New Life is upon us and the old lies (flies) and old polluted thoughts (frogs) are not allowed in our new day (butterfly) life. The enemy is defeated in so many ways, now we rise up together and enjoy the sights and sounds of new life and declare “Die Fly”.
