FRAGMENTED: The Demonic Strategy Against God's Front Runners

By Dr. Melissa Hood

Hi,

My name is Dr. Missy Hood and I have been a Front Runner all my life. Front running within the Design industry, the movie industry, and now within ministry to bring innovative ideas to help people come forward. I believe this is main job description of most of us. Those willing to walk through the fire to make the road less painful for those who come behind us. We are the Front Runners from Heaven and we are used by God to bring Heaven here into the earth no matter which mountain God uses us on (Government. Education, Arts & Entertainment, Business, Media, Family & Church! It matters not to God as He utilizes our vessels to assist in the "trickle down" affect at the top of those mountains. We are mountain climbers, we see "big picture", some call us dreamers, or those who dare to go where no man/woman has gone before! We were born for the fire, we serve around His throne, those throne room warriors who serve at the King's pleasure, His Armor Bearers. Yes…we came from Heaven, so we know it like the back of our hand.

Heaven is a city and there are many facets of Heaven that you would never think would exist.
God tells us we have not because we ask not- and "Be Ye NOT AFRAID- Only Believe!"
I am not a "tell all be all" but I have walked the streets of Heaven since I was a little girl. It was almost like I had brought heaven with me when I was born into the earth.

Some are given the gift of joy, others faith, but VERY few are given the gift of Love (God is Love) from birth. The gift of love is the presence of God on a vessel from the womb to the grave because God wouldn't ever send His warriors into Battle alone! The King Always goes into battle with his troops!

These specialized warriors are also Armor Bearers for God's heart. We were born for the fire and hence our entire lives have felt like a fiery blaze as God has walked us through it. Yet God has helped us to WIN every battle if we stay aligned with Him/Love. Because Love ALWAYS wins!

When God took me into Heaven the first time, I saw my earthly father who had just died one year prior. I asked my dad if I was supposed to stay in Heaven with him and he said "No, God has sent you into the earth to help bring back the Love and God's Glory." I did not know what that meant until now as God is establishing the Ezekiel's Wheel back over His throne. His order, Timing, Seasons, Realms & Frequencies of His spirit. To help Front Runners get RE-ALIGNED back into Love so that God's glory can fall. To accomplish this a warrior's heart MUST be free from all the generational entanglements (curses) so that only pureness abounds. "Blessed are the pure in heart for THEY shall see God (Matthew 5:8, New International Version). Because God is now having His warriors come in through the Outer Court (12 Gates of the Outer Wheel/Represents the 12 Tribes of Israel/12 Gates of Israel) and into His Inner Court so that His pure hearted warriors (The David's: Men and Women after His own Heart) can enter into the seven (7) Gates of his Heart. So those warriors can then MOVE into their Holy of Holies.

THEREFORE, God has brought you here, to Ezekiel's Wheel, to GET YOU PURIFIED to be "READIED" to enter the deepest part of His Heart. Get ready Front Runner! Get ready for the adventure of your life as you journey into the Contraction Points that PRESS you THROUGH and INTO Love like you have never known it before. Into blessing like you have never seen before- INTO THE DOUBLE! For all your trouble while learning to WIN again!

Chapter 1

My Life before Fragmentation/How it Began

Firstly, this book is written for VERY high-level intercessors with a layering effect so that (as a teacher) I can walk the reader through the process of how God rebuilds their heart gates and walls of truth within their courts. The courts consisting of: An outer court and inner courts so that they can enter their Holy of Holies (destiny). Which means you (the reader) might have to read a couple chapters and the put the book down for a day or your spirit man can get overloaded. I am a VERY blunt personality (prophetic voice) and some of these truths WILL offend you. They will offend because there is also a deliverance anointing on this book if your heart is ready for TRUE change. Change that comes as you read the meat within each chapter digest those truths.

Read it slowly so that you can learn how to move through the contraction points and know what to expect. I did not want to write it from an outline/scientific perspective but instead chose to incorporate my own story so that the reader would know how God healed me. And how the reader might be able to relate within their lives vs. my own. Some chapters are incredibly intense as God has allowed MUCH pain and loss in my life to build my vessel into the warrior I am today. Please don’t quit reading during those chapters because there is a healing/deliverance anointing there which enables you to get free.

Speaking Bluntly: I have sensed that God’s message for the body in this hour is this:

I am NOT here to serve you; YOU are here to serve Me! Therefore, I am requesting that you put away your false narratives about who YOU think I am and allow Me to show you who I REALLY am. And while your at it, put away the plastic Christianity in your attempt to make others (with the same flaws you have) hold a higher standard that none of you have the ability to maintain without Me. Its time to get back to the basics of love between yourselves and a holy God and ITS definitely TIME to get on board" with WHO I (God) say love is! (God is love).

Hence: The Conversation Begins

I understand that bad things happen in life and that we wouldn't be human if we didn't get perplexed about those moments. I think everyone gets stuck for a short season (hopefully only a short season) when deep hurt arises. We can ponder and become vexed as the Bible describes it, when people behave in betrayal, deceit, or in ways that break our hearts.

However, the real problem I am finding occurs when we become so entangled in the thought process, analyzing every detail to the point that we get stuck in that season. We stay way longer than God ever intended for us to park there. Ever heard people discuss others around themselves who have experienced profound trauma with statements like Oh, he/she has never been the same since so and so died, or Oh, that incident changed him/her forever?

My response: Gee, ya think? I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but it used to drive me bananas after my own father passed away (I was 22 yrs. old at the time). I would overhear my friends discussing my plight amongst themselves with statements like: Oh, Missy has never been the same since her father died. I would sit there thinking to myself, Hey guys, I'm right over here, and I CAN HEAR YOU and everything you're saying, but none of you have ever walked where I'm walking so HOW could you possibly understand my circumstances?!!!" Here I was at 22 years old faced with a different set of challenges that I never dreamed I would be facing, with things like:

1. Who will give me away when I marry now?

2. Who will I go to for counsel when I have issues in life?

3. Who will help me with my car issues or in the knowledge of how to purchase or with life's significant challenges?

4. Who will protect me now as a daughter?

5. Who will I run to when life seems to be getting the best of me?

Things like that. While those are not a complete compilation of the issues, they are the high points on my list that none of my supposed friends/other family members were facing. So how could they possibly begin to understand? Yet there they were sitting beside me judging or making presumptions that they knew nothing about! Kind of like Job's friends (in the Bible). Those people were arrogant individuals who presumed that they KNEW more about Job's heart than God Himself.

They just KNEW that Job had done something wrong to cause all of these bad things that happened to him when God had started a test that only He and Job knew about, and only God could fix. Kind of like the testing the Front runners have now entered into to learn how to take their lives back. Yet everyone around us just KNOWS that we had to have sinned so grossly for all these bad things to be happening to us!

Ever been there? Having God test you to the point that all these severe life issues started to occur in/around your life, and nobody understood what you're walking through except YOU and God? I hate those types of tests, but it's those seasons of testing that make us who God is developing us into.

Lording Your Past Over You

It was one of the biggest irritants of my life because I could not explain to people around me what I was going through. I could not deny it either, but I did know that all of these hardships that God was allowing the devil to bestow upon me had nothing to do with anything I had done to cause it.

I am not a perfect person by any means; matter of fact, there are some things in my background I'd rather forget or just eradicate from my own memory. However, God knew I would commit them (sins), and after repentance, He has forgiven me.

The real issues that I deal with are those offenses that others have not forgiven me for in their own humanness. Those are my Job’s friends relationships that I have had to contend with over the years to try to reconcile or walk away from because they got too stuck in my past. Either they weren't willing to accept the fact that God had indeed changed my heart, or God had changed my heart so much to the point that I had outgrown their outlandish dysfunction and was no longer walking on the eggshells that those people had created around me when relating. I realized that I don't perform for them- I ONLY perform for Christ, and He's the only one that matters.

When people expect us to continually make restitution for our past to them (as though they were God) usually means that those relationships are no longer healthy relationships. The relationship have now evolved into one of dysfunction where one party is lording another's past as a form of control in order for that person to feel empowered. This empowerment is a false sense of power and arrogance when one party sees themselves as "having arrived, or more worthy of God's love than the guilty party, or that the person who sinned is irredeemable (HELLO, WE ARE ALL SINNERS).

Think about it: people who genuinely love and care about you don't always remind you of your failures because true love tries to build you up to prove to you what God says you have become. We are new creatures, beautifully and wonderfully made, in His image. People that always remind you of your past sins/failures (as though you're too stupid to remember them yourself) are really just people who have no identity in Christ.

The only identity they can formulate is the one of lording themselves and their false ideologies of being legends in their own minds over others. Idiots- I think they are all just complete idiots who make utter fools of themselves as well as destroy the precious relationships God has given to them. All in their attempt to elevate themselves up over another. Bottom line to this conversation: correct love covers, it allows redemption, & it throws our past as far as the east is from the west. Arrogance just tries to control and rehash it.

Lording over others is really self-aggrandized arrogance to the max, and is actually a spirit of Jezebel manifesting. These tactics are what that spirit did in the Bible to Elijah. They attacked his identity (Are you really who you say you are?) but I'm getting ahead of myself.

This is a pretty good starting point for us to discuss how fragmentation begins, and how it can affect our life, relationships, finances, health, etc., but first I think I need to take everyone back to the beginning. Where it all began and how the devil started to stack the deck against me with trauma after trauma, in his attempt to destroy my ability to love, and to think effectively.

You see, some are given the gift of joy, others faith, while VERY FEW are given the gift of love from birth. God is love, so the gift of love is the presence of God on a vessel from birth. That vessel still has to go through the salvation experience, then getting spirit filled, but God never meant for Front runners to walk through this battle alone. Most believers carry a sword of mercy and truth where pure Front runners only carry swords of double mercy or double truth. The double truth carriers are those who are sent into very dark situations as prophets to start a pruning process. A process that presents complicated warfare to maneuver through without a holy God of love.

I'm a pretty wide-open person, and I don't hold anything back when it comes to speaking truth because gifts of love make a vessel ONLY talk about the truth. It's all I know because that's how God made my vessel to operate in the earth. My plight is that my sword is a double portion of the truth, which means that I speak truth all the time and means I'm pretty blunt in my conversations. That bluntness can really intimidate others unless they get to know my heart because its rare in the earth. Bluntness also means I can't lie worth a flip, so my hope is that as you read this book that it helps you to start your journey of healing into ALL truth to help you begin attain healing within your own courts.

Within each vessel, we each have an outer court, then an inner court, which leads to a Holy of Holies. God's ultimate design for every vessel will be to move that soul into their Holy of Holies to become intertwined with His own spirit. This intertwining creates a powerhouse vessel to where God can fully flow through to use their mind, hearts, courts, and gates, through a rebuilding/healing process of building that vessel's walls of truth back up. Through healing, the thought processes of the individual in the ways that they perceive life around themselves to where that vessel can once again walk in God's truth. A reality where all things are made new within a brand new functional heart, equipped with the ability to operate at higher spiritual levels. However, in order for that newness to take place, the vessel has to be willing to enter into a process of testing which include trials that transform and bring healing and restoration. A restoration fire where the fires of life burn off all the dross/chaft that were never meant to be within their courts.

Courtrooms are a clean place if you think about it, as God is a VERY orderly God. Nothing missing, nothing broken. He's in order as are His vessels that become healed. So with that, we'll start as I take you back to where it all began for me:

My Past

I was probably the goofiest kid on the planet growing up because I've always been so free-spirited. My life was an average, healthy life for a little girl as I was mischievous, spunky, fun-loving, but always into something.

My free-spiritedness didn't alienate my life from demonic attacks because I definitely have had my fair share. I quickly found out that just because I came from an upper-middle-class family that didn't eliminate me from suffering. I rapidly learned that the devil doesn't play fair, and everyone's childhood will always become a target because, as soon as the devil peers into their lineage, he sees their potential or their detriments. Based on blessings and cursing (Deuteronomy 27 & 28, New International Version), once the devil discovers this information about a person, then it is Game on Baby! What I found out was that the devil started to plot and plan against me and would continue to do so until the day Jesus brings me home. To give you some insight on the severity of the demonic attacks would be to describe some scenarios to see if maybe, they ring a bell in your life about your own story.

My Story:

At two years old, I can vaguely remember my parents taking us to a picnic in a little town here in Texas named Taylor.

Taylor is a small town with a small-town country vibe, and so nothing huge ever occurred there. Until the day my parents took me for the picnic when I distinctly remember myself being drawn to the water by the lake. My mother was standing with her back turned for 2 seconds, and somehow I found myself walking into the water. I remember that I just kept walking and didn't know why until it was over my head. I remember looking up at the surface as my body sunk and not knowing what to do. I couldn't swim, but I tried to flail as best I could, thinking it might help me, but then everything went black.

I don't remember anything after that, but they say that a fireman saved my life. I guess he must have seen me flailing in the water, and he immediately ran to dive in and save me. He ended up giving mouth to mouth until they brought me back. My father was furious at my mother, but when I asked where he was at during this huge fiasco, he sputtered, uh, well, I was probably somewhere, somewhere close, but I was somewhere!

Which left me thinking and scratching my head, saying: But I could have died, dad!

My point: Don't tell me there isn't a very real devil that doesn't come after us at a young age with strategies and wicked plans to try to bring harm as we attempt to grow and maybe one day come to know Christ.

At six years old, I was trying to make a crown for my dad for Father's Day, and I was determined to design it so that it looked authentic. I was a weird little kid like that, so I went and grabbed the hugest pair of scissors possible, imagine that? They only made 7" scissors back then, but they were the big long scissors that no child should ever have used. But leave it to me to grab the most massive pair and then go running through the house as my foot would trip over a rolling toy telephone on the floor. This action caused me to trip, fall (scissors in hand), only to wind up with the scissors stuck in my temple. Tell me that wasn't the devil coming at me!

My parents wound up rushing me to the ER to spend the entire night running tests to ensure that no brain damage had occurred (to which I'm still not sure that wasn't the case). Although my big brother would probably tell you otherwise, in my mind, I think I've turned out ok. However, as I think back on my life events and I can see how the enemy started to set me up to take me out early.

The enemy/devil tried to make my 8th year the big one for me by setting me up to walk through sexual abuse. Abuse that would last for three years in my life until I finally smartened up against my perpetrator and learned to stay very near my father at all family events so that he couldn't get to me any longer. From that experience alone, I started to develop an intense fear of something ever happening to my dad because who would protect me then? My father was military, and so it became a huge deal in my family when he would have to leave for summer camp or traveling for business because my mom and dad had no idea that I was struggling with abuse. Those were horrible years in my life, but those years would not even begin to touch the REAL CRESCENDO that the devil was setting up for me.

Fragmentation had already begun in my mind as I began to struggle at 10 years old. A child has no capacity to deal with the emotional trauma of sex, let alone abuse. My mind felt like it was scattered. My heartfelt scattered, and I was confused about life; my sexual understanding became skewed because I began to think that the only way to make a man happy was to either allow him to abuse you or use you. Nobody ever dealt with the psychological damage from sexual abuse in the '70s because nobody ever talked about anything. We were just raised to shove it all down because talking about it might hurt someone.

But what about my heart? I was already profoundly hurt, and yet everyone's brains seem to be stuck on stupid and would continue to be so as I grew up
