The Battle for Planet Earth - Part 3

... The wait was longer than any of us would have expected, but it was certain that it would not last forever. The great last battle was coming with all certainty, and we were given the great task of learning to operate as an army in unity with one another instead of fragmenting into smaller factions and trying to overcome the army of the evil one all alone...

As I looked back towards the line of angels that were holding this last battle at bay, I saw that underneath them was a river. I immediately understood what this river represented, it was the river flowing from the throne room of God, the Holy Spirit! I was made to understand that in order for us as the body of Christ to advance against the legions of the enemy, we would first have to all go through this river at the same time. We had to be in unity in crossing this river. The only way for us to have a standing chance of defeating the enemy in the days to come is if the body of Christ comes into a global outpouring of the Holy Spirit and we all have to stay in unity during it! We have been terrible in this, and this is why we as of yet do not see the enemy defeated. So I knew that the angels would resist us unless our entire army crossed together at the same time...

As I looked back up towards the angels faces, I saw a silent frustration and the question that rested on their minds, "How long until they get it right and they fulfill our Master's high priestly prayer that they would be one?"

At this point, as I looked to see more in the vision, all I saw was a hand outstretched towards me that resembled someone directing traffic and telling you to stop. I took this to mean that the vision was ended, the message God wants to speak through this is complete.

We are left to accomplish our task. How long until unity comes? Let it be with us, my friends, let our generation be the generation that arises as one army and creates the atmosphere for a global outpouring that decimates the ranks of Hell and leaves them shattered and fleeing! Let us rise up as the victorious bride and settle the division within our body once and for all!

Let us be one, even as He is One...

Battle for Planet Earth - Part 2

(continued from last post)

...After those things happened to me I looked in the distance and in the distance I saw a huge mountain that had flashes of lightening and thunder around it, as though a huge storm were forming. Suddenly I was soaring through the air with an aerial view of the landscape beneath me. I could see that behind the mountain were the lands of the enemy. A vast army was being assembled, and they were stirred up preparing themselves to make one last, final march through the earth.

Then I flew back to where I was standing with the crowds around me. Their arms were now fully grown out and it was slowly dawning on everyone that they were on the thresholds of a great battle. I could see the fear in their faces as it dawned on them that there was a storm headed their way. I saw that although they could now drink for themselves the water of life, they were still drinking out of my spring and looking to me for their spiritual strength. Then it was revealed to me that each one of them had to go through the process that I had gone through; coming to Christ as their own personal rock and relying upon His grace to defeat their own personal demons so that the waters could flow from them and they could face the army of demons that was coming...

My personal victory became a corporate spring, but God wanted to make them springs as well. I saw God's strategy in bringing revival into their own lives first and then spreading it to others and from that process, we would have an army that was large enough to face the enemy.

We now entered the time of "The Great Awakening" or I heard the phrase "The First Resurrection" where every believer became a revivalist equal to the great men of old, and thus we would reach more and more of the lost, creating a last minute army that was the greatest army for the Lord that the earth had ever seen...

Then suddenly the sky opened up above us and all of the stars could be seen shining in their brightness, and I knew this to be symbolic of angelic activity being increased in these times and that the church and the angels would co-labor together that we would know the meaning of being "Fellow ministers of the gospel". As I watched I saw all the stars fall down to the earth, creating a barrier of protection between us and the hordes of hell.

They were postponing the war to come and giving us much needed time to gather our army together. But the angels weren't just holding back the hordes of hell from advancing against us but they were also holding back the church from attacking too soon!

Once again, having an aerial view over the battlefield, I could see different sections of peoples shouting a specific war cry as they ran away from the rest of the army and tried to get past the angels to defeat the hordes of hell. I intuitively knew that although these people's hearts were right, that they were being impatient and unwilling to wait for the rest of the church. For in this last great battle, it is going to take the entire church to be in unity.

And so there was a tension in the air, a sense of a coming storm, but awaiting for it to come.

The Battle for Planet Earth - Part 1

I received this powerful vision on my birthday yesterday! It came to me during various degrees of "trance", which is an experience that is found in the scriptures as well as a common experience for prophetic people throughout church history. Because of the length of the vision, I have decided to post it as a series to condense the amount of words I have to write for each post.

While I was waiting upon the Lord, I found myself standing in a desert wasteland. An angel came and was bringing me small amounts of water at the beginning of my time in this desert. I looked up into the sky and I saw the sun shining overhead, and I realized that this was the light of God shining down upon me, illuminating the world for me to see. I suddenly knew that this light was available to me, but it wasn't available to the demonic hosts or to the lost, but that they had to navigate these lands in total darkness...

As I walked I was made aware of the fact that waters were following me wherever I went, under the ground beneath me.

On my right up ahead, I came to a huge rock. I was aware that this rock represented Christ. As I walked closer and approached the rock, I saw crouched on top of it a black bat-like demon looking down at me. As I looked up at him, he scurried behind the rock and hid, distracting my focus from the rock and causing me to worry about when and where this demon would pop up to attack me... I believe that this demon's assignment was to keep me away from engaging experientially with Christ using a fear that demons would get me if I did...

(At this point, I went into a powerful trance, it hit me extremely hard)

I felt in my spirit that I was to ignore the demon, and just to focus on the rock, so I struck the rock with a staff in my hand. Suddenly I realized the strategy of God in this, that I wasn't to fight the demon, but I was to engage the rock and the strength of the rock would conquer the demon for me! As this instantaneous download happened, suddenly the rock literally blew up! The pressure of the burst of energy from the rock sent the demon soaring through the sky and off into some distant land... This is symbolic of how Christ's victory through the destruction of His flesh on the cross is the only thing we can place our trust in when it comes to warfare, not our theology, not our ability to discern evil spirits and battle them. The only victory over the enemy comes through recognizing that Christ has already defeated him...

Then, from the ground where the rock once stood, a spring of water began to flow. The water that once followed me underground wherever I went then began to manifest itself. It flowed out and covered the land, spreading all over! The water was changing the atmosphere of the desert! I cupped the waters in my hand, and I saw that they were extremely beautiful waters... I intuitively knew that these waters represented the Holy Spirit...

At this point, I wasn't sure what to do as I stood in the water, but I felt the Lord direct me to start splashing around, playing and having a good time in them. So I did! As I did, I began to see crowds of people gathering just outside of the waters edge, looking at me as I played and splashed around.

I came to the realization that the way to win people over isn't to leave the water and enter into dryness to tell them about how good the water is, but rather we just have to enjoy the water thoroughly and have a blast in it , and the outsiders will naturally gravitate towards us. Thirsty people are drawn to water... We preach the Anointing of God best by displaying it, not by theorizing about it!

So I expected them to come and begin to drink the water, but as I looked at them I began to notice that none of them had any arms!

As I pondered how horrible it was that they didn't have any arms and therefore that they wouldn't be able to bring the water to their mouths to drink I heard the Lord ask me, "Will you be their arms?"

Of course I was willing to do whatever the Lord asked me to; but I had within myself a concern that if I was the one giving them spiritual drink all the time that they would never learn how to drink on their own.

As I thought about this, the Lord showed me the regenerative qualities of the water, and that as I gave them water to drink their arms would actually grow back out so that they could drink the water for themselves!

Resounding through my mind was the voice of the Lord reaffirming my call to help those drink of His Spirit who aren't yet able to on their own...
