What Heaven is Saying Today

Shana Tova!

 

Last night just after sundown we went up to the worship room to pray, sing praise, and blow shofars and rams horns. The presence of the Lord was like a weighty presence and we both went face down on the floor. I prayed again in the spirit and then asked the Lord to reveal more of what is about to be released. It seems the whole creation is going through birth pangs waiting for the sons and daughters of the Kingdom to be revealed.

 

I was lifted up to an open portal in Heaven, and I very slowly moved through the portal. As I could see more clearly, I saw an awesome and mighty sword of the Lord. It seemed to be on fire and blazed with great power. The Lord thrust it into the ground and everything shook from that blow. I was also shaken by the impact of the sword striking the ground. As the shock waves spread out, I sensed that many things had been released. Things were loosed in Heaven.

 

Then the Lord came over and took the sword by the hilt and carried us with Him to the Earth where He once again struck the ground with a powerful blow of the sword. With this blow, things were being loosed on the Earth. I understood by revelation that a great shaking is coming to the world. It will shake some strongholds so powerfully that they will be pulled down. It will shake many of us causing things to come out of us which are holding us back or blocking the flow in our lives. This striking of the ground by the Lord is bringing many new things in. I heard the Spirit speak of the release of revival fires, and releasing an impartation to the faithful to carry out the Lord’s purpose in this season. I heard the Lord decree, “Breakthrough!” with a mighty and commanding voice as He struck the ground again and again. Are you ready for it?

 

This morning as soon as I arrived in Heaven, the Lord handed me a simple and relatively small rams horn. As He handed the rams horn to me, He said, “Remember the spirit of Jasher!” Now that really threw me off. I couldn’t understand what the Lord meant. I knew that the Book of Jasher is mentioned twice in the Bible, but I don’t know much about his spirit. I prayed over and over for understanding. The Lord repeated the entire experience again. As He handed me the rams horn, He said again, “Remember the spirit of Jasher!” I asked the Holy Spirit to help me understand. I pointed out that Jesus had promised that the Spirit of truth would guide me into all truth and that this word spoken by Yeshua ha Messiach was obviously part of that truth – especially considering that He said it twice.

 

Suddenly revelation came. Jasher served his purpose in his day. It is not important to know facts about him. It is important to know that he had a spirit to serve the Lord and write down what the Lord was doing and saying. Joshua quoted Jasher as he sought to understand the miracle of the sun standing still. Joshua 10:13-14, “So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.” From this account, we understand that Jasher wrote it as prophecy since nothing like it had happened in the past. He is something of an unknown prophet, and the Lord is calling some of us to speak His Word and His prophetic messages without receiving any acclaim or reward on earth. He is calling us to simple obedience.

 

In 2 Samuel 1:17-18, David uses a song prophetically placed in the Book of Jasher as an appropriate lament at the death of Saul and Jonathan. “Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher:” I understood that some worship leaders are being called to write prophetic songs for a future time without expecting any acclaim or recognition in the present time. Jasher wrote a song which spoke meaning into the time of David’s grief. The words of the song are preserved in 2 Samuel 1:19-27. Are you ready to speak the Word of God and/or write songs without recognition to help others experience revelation from the Lord? This is the calling for this season. It is not about us. It is about the Lord and what He plans to do and plans to release. Are you willing to serve Him even if no one knows?

 

As I looked around, I saw several angels with shofars in their hands. They were ready to sound them but had not yet received the command from the Lord. Then the Spirit let me see people on the mountains of Israel standing in the early morning light with shofars lifted and ready to sound. It is time to blow the shofars in Zion right now knowing that the angels will soon sound the trumpets in Heaven. It is a time of preparation and a time to rededicate ourselves to serving Him because of who He is and Whose we are! Are you ready? Sound the shofar in Zion! Sound an alarm in The Lord’s holy mountain! The day of the Lord is coming and His people need to wake up, prepare, and be ready for what is about to be poured out on the earth! Amen and Amen!
