What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning I was caught up in the Spirit to a large building which looked like those used for military aircraft. It had rows of lights all across a very high rounded ceiling. The building was filled military vehicles of various types. The activity was at a very high operational tempo. Everyone was in battle dress and loading supplies and equipment. It was obvious that a very large military operation was about to begin and the people in this place were moving quickly to be ready for it.
The Lord said, “It is time to lighten your loads. Most of you are trying to carry more stuff than you need and it is slowing you down and holding you back. It is time to let go of some things which seemed essential in the past and embrace what is essential for this hour.” I began to reflect on what I might be holding on to from the past and tried to plan ways to lighten the load to be ready to move quickly in His service.
Then the Lord said, “It is time for a weapons upgrade. Many of you are still holding to swords you have collected in the past, but they will be ineffective on the modern battlefield. My church has acted as if the ancient Roman army is still the best trained and best equipped military force. That is way out of date. Are you ready to embrace some modern weapons and modern tactics?” Most of the people quickly let go of the old weapons and embraced more modern and much more powerful weapons.
I remembered the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” Bright shiny swords are attractive but very ineffective against tanks, armored personnel carriers, automatic weapons, missiles, fighter jets and etc. Are we ready to let go of old weapons, old ideas, and old solutions to the challenges of spiritual warfare? Are we ready to be equipped and trained by the Lord?
I prayed for wisdom from the Holy Spirit. I quoted one of my favorite scriptures to Him: “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:12-15) I am asking the Spirit of truth to give us wisdom and understanding about the meaning of today’s Word from the Lord!
I pray that you will be fully prepared and adequately equipped in this season of spiritual warfare! I pray that the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom and discernment to know what to say, what to do, and when to do it! May the Lord be with us and guide us to accomplish His purpose! May all we do bring glory to our Father God, our Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! Amen and Amen!!!!
