From an incredibly early age it was just so fascinating for me to watch a Carpenter use the hammer. Then at every opportunity I would attempt to use the hammer only to experience the pain of bruising my fingers with it. Yet I had a special love for the hammer remained with me so much so that whenever I wanted to decorate the walls in my home, I would run with excitement to get the hammer and as I would use the hammer to drive the nail in the wall to hang a beautiful picture or an ornament these words rang out from my husband, “Margaret, what are you doing?” My reply, “I’m putting another picture on the wall.” He interjected and demonstrated to me how to effectively use the hammer by measuring sixteen inches (16”) across to find a beam and then use the hammer to securely fasten the nail into it thus it would remain. This revelation reminded me of how one day while doing some work in the front of my yard when suddenly a rock opened up and from behind it came a large animal walking on his hind feet, he was very angry at me but it seemed that he was being restrained and all he could do is look at me – immediately though my attention was more focused on what was inside of what looked like a cave and in it were many more larger animals than he who opened the entrance to this place – suddenly I threw what I had been working with into the cave, it was a hammer! I awakened it was a dream that left me puzzled – the Word spoke to me from Jeremiah 23:29 NKJ “Is not My Word like a fire?” Says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”



In your walk with God as He advances you to your place of destiny, are you experiencing great opposition and intense disturbance from the shadowy world? Is your past hindering your future? What about the lies and deception along with the assignation of your character? Do you struggle with unforgiveness toward those who have hurt you deeply? Are the generational curses in your family line still evident in your life? I challenge you this day to use the hammer of the Word to effectively break not only every generational curse but to remove even the residue of the lies and the deception from your entire generation! Use the hammer to stop your past from hindering your destiny. Conquer all your fears with the hammer!



Listen, as a young girl practicing with the hammer. I busted up my fingers many times and then when I thought I was all grown up to use it only to discover from my husband it was still not effectively being used. For I was only putting holes in the wall which resulted in the pictures and decorations falling to the floor and the walls were slowly being destroyed. What a revelation came from his instruction of how to first find a beam in the wall and then to use the hammer. So, it is in dealing with every vice and generational curses in your life (mine too). You find the areas which are being affected then you use the hammer (The Word) and you will hit “Bull’s Eye” each camp the enemy has set up as a decoy for your demise – The hammer (The Word) will flush the enemy out like it did in my dream and will not only render him powerless to operate against you and your family, but the hammer would destroy every campsite set up against you! For me, the enemy had his decoy in my front yard. Question, do you know where the enemy has set up his camps to come against you? The Word is speaking from the book of Ephesians chapter 6:12-18. NKJ. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 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.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which, you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer all the saints

You will become like a highly skilled Carpenter whose work speaks for itself as you view the excellent projects he has completed with his most prized tool – The hammer! As you study the Word (me too) you will become more highly skilled in not only destroying the enemy’s camps set up against you, but God will powerfully use you to rebuild not only this nation but many nations around the world! I reiterate Jeremiah 23:29 NKJ “Is not My Word like a fire?” Says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces.” Use - THE HAMMER!
