PROPHETIC DREAM FROM OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF: YOU’VE BEEN ARMED TO WIN!

    Given the recent threats against those who support Israel, the Lord reminded me of a dream I had last November where I was in a high-ranking military briefing about a coming attack. Those around the table were talking about possible strategies in dealing with any covert operations of the enemy, as this had been the previous practice. But the commander in charge said that this time would be different. The enemy was planning an attack out in the open, on the ground – and we needed to be ready.

    Then in the dream, I was immediately taken to a classroom where I was confronted by a man who had been found to be an enemy in our midst. He had grabbed a girl beside him – who was supposed to be his friend – and threatened her with a knife. However, when I looked at the knife, it was a butter knife and, though I was alarmed at his threat, I didn’t fear any great harm.

    Then I was taken to another classroom where another man had grabbed his “friend” (also a woman) and threatened her with a knife. This time, however, he was holding a steak knife. Plus, he was also threatening me. In the dream, I remember feeling the “sting” of his knife and knew that this was starting to get personal. Where the first time I hadn’t been as concerned, this time I knew the threat was real.

    But even though this threat had now become tangible, I didn’t have an ounce of fear. I was not even thinking of defending myself. Rather, I was thinking of how I was going to disarm this enemy. A righteous indignation had been stirred in my spirit when I saw these innocent lives being threatened. Instinctively, I knew his weapons were inferior to mine and I just needed to know which of my tools to use – and to do it quickly. I knew I had the advantage – I had been prepared for this. I just needed to use the authority I had without hesitation.

        PURSUING HIS PRESENCE MORE THAN HIS PROPHETS

        Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.

        SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

        The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.

        THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

        I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

        A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

        This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.
