What Heaven is Saying Today
My praise and worship time with the Lord was so wonderful as I continuously felt His presence, His power, and His Glory. I felt the fire of God on my head during the Aaronic Blessing and I knew that the Lord was burning out the residue of things which had been released to hinder my experience of the Lord’s presence. After the fire of His hand came over me, I went face down in His presence and prayed in the spirit for several minutes.
I was given a vision of storm clouds churning in the skies above us. I saw that there was a break in the clouds and a strong light from Heaven was shining through on the Lord’s people. There is an anointing being released to the Lord’s people in this season and we need to focus on that more than on the storm clouds. I heard the Spirit saying, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid!” I prayed for wisdom and revelation to understand the meaning of this vision. In my spirit, I received the revelation I had prayed for. I saw that we are between storms. One has passed over us and it has been strong and very challenging. We are now in a time of being restored and refreshed in by the Glory of the Lord. However this will be a very short period of time like the break in the clouds during the storm. The second storm is almost upon us and we must redeem this time to get the full benefit of what the Lord is releasing now.
As I continued to look at the storms and this short break, I saw something really strange in the distance. It looked like a huge fiery beast moving from the distant horizon toward us. It had scales on its back like Leviathan. It had powerful legs which looked like stone columns. Its head was covered with some kind of armor and it had a long and powerful horn on the front of its faced like a rhinoceros. All around each piece of its armor I saw fire coming out of the beast. It was using its massive armor plated head to sweep across the land and destroy cities and the people living in them. Many people were fleeing in terror from this horrible beast. I started to run, but then I remembered what the Spirit had decreed. I stood fast and asked for wisdom as the beast move slowly and methodically toward me.
Then I heard the Lord say, “Use the authority I have given you!” Two passages of scripture suddenly filled my thoughts: 1) Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” and 2) James 4:7, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” I started to speak these passages aloud, but it didn’t seem to have an immediate effect.
I suddenly felt like Elisha’s servant who was only seeing the enemy and not the power of God which had already been released to rescue him and the Prophet. So, I began to pray the Elisha prayer. 2 Kings 6:16-17, “So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” I prayed for my spiritual eyes to be opened. I prayed the prayer of Elisha in the first person. “Lord open the eyes of your servant! Open my spiritual eyes to see” Then I remember that an angel of the Lord had told me in the past to wake up my own seer anointing. So, I began to speak to my spirit and call the seer anointing to be awakened. Remember 1 Corinthians 14:32, “And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.”
As I prayed and decreed, my spiritual eyes were opened and I was shown a wonderful sight. Between where I stood and where the beast was located, I saw a fiery sword thrust into the ground. Then I saw a fiery angel moving faster and faster around the sword. After a short time it moving so fast that it looked like a pillar of fire between me and the enemy. I felt the awesome Shalom Glory cover me when I became fully aware of the Lord’s protection over us. I understood in my spirit that this is what will result when we use the spiritual authority given by the Lord (Luke 10:19 and James 4:7). When we obey the Lord and stop letting fear control us. We must take control with the power of faith and use the authority which has already been given! Amen? It is time for the Lord’s people to take a stand and boldly make decrees based on the awesome and powerful Word of God. Always remember that the Word is also a person (John 1:14)! Yeshua is the Living Word of God, and He is with you always even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20)!
