What Heaven is Saying Today
This morning the Lord gave me a vision of two pillars which looked like Roman columns. One was standing upright and one was down on the ground beside and slightly behind the first one. I wondered if they were being built up or if they were falling down. The Holy Spirit helped me to understand that both things were happening. This is a season of transition and some things will have to fall down while new things are being established. Neither process was complete because this is a time of transition. I sensed a strong imperative for us to let go of the things which the Lord is bringing down and to embrace the things He wants to establish. Revelation 21:5, “Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’”
Then I saw a group of people who seemed to be in some kind of ministry line. Many were falling down while others stood and watched. I wondered if they were falling down under the power of the Holy Spirit to receive a blessing or if they were being brought down in judgment. The answer was both things were happening, because this is a season of transition. Some are coming under the power of God and being transformed so they can be raised up again in preparation for their new area of service to the Lord. Some were being brought down and would not rise again. I understood that decisions are being made right now. Our decisions will determine which group we are in and the Lord’s decisions will be revealed very soon. I want to be open to receive what the Holy Spirit is releasing and to be raised up to do whatever He commands. How about you?
Then I was given a third vision. I saw two different pillars which seemed to be made up of charcoal colored clouds. One was larger than the other and both seemed very unstable. The Holy Spirit let me know that these are enemy strongholds. Some people will react in fear when they are confronted by the strongholds. Those who are led by the Holy Spirit will see that they are vapors of smoke with no real substance. Their main purpose is to lead people into fear. Fear will open a hole in the hedge of protection and allow oppressive spirits to come against the Lord’s people who are not strong. I heard the Lord say, “Do not fear! Be strong and courageous! I AM with you always!” I remembered the words in Joel 3:9-10, “Proclaim this among the nations: ‘Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” Now is the time for the weak to declare and decree: I am strong because the great I AM is with me and He is exceedingly strong!
In a fourth vision, I saw what looked like a mighty warrior dressed in battle armor. He was very large and seemed exceedingly strong. He was very fierce looking and will cause many to fear. I wondered if this was a mighty warrior of the Lord. The Holy Spirit let me know that this is the enemy. He will soon appear in a second effort to bring a spirit of fear upon the Lord’s people. We must not allow this. I heard the Lord say again, “Do not fear! Be strong and courageous! I AM with you always!” I began to understand that fear is our greatest danger right now. We must not allow fear to control us in this time of transition. I was reminded of Psalm 27:1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
In the fifth and final vision this morning, I saw what looked like a human heart. It had a green color. I understood this to mean that the Lord had plans to release the Spirit of life into it and to let it prosper greatly in the Kingdom. Then I saw a small glory cloud moving toward the heart. To my surprise, the heart was resisting the glory. It was not willing to allow the glory to come in. I was very sad about this and I made a decree to not allow this to happen in my heart. How about you? Are you resisting the glory of God? Do you need to open up today to the Spirit of life and allow your heart to be renewed so that your soul can be transformed? Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
