In the early 1990's, God invaded my world with a series of encounters that radically changed the course of my life and moved me to leave my career to begin my journey with the Lord. This began a new season in my life fraught with trials, testing and loss, yet it has been a time also filled with much joy and discovering the love of God the Father. From those early years until this present day, the Lord has been opening up to me much revelation in regard to the many facets of the Headstone and the Headstone generation of Zechariah 4:7. "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it." Zechariah 4:7
Some may feel that they don't have the same freedom as another in the body of Christ and they wonder why, but I am beginning to see that the Lord will show us things in our walk giving us more light at the time He knows He can trust us with it. This light sanctifies our walk; yes, it sets us apart unto holiness if we are willing to accept that walk. He wants our worship pure before Him, untainted by any mixture from deception. These are the times when many are following the multitudes, those who are popular in the body of Christ, but the fact is that many have bought into a lie from the enemy saying that anything goes if we are believers that the Holy Spirit sanctifies it. This includes many practices that are of the occult.
I have had the story of Elijah contending for 'rain' from 1 Kings 18 burning on my heart very strongly the last 24 hours. As I sat with the Lord and asked Him what He was saying, I felt the Lord saying that through this major onslaught that many are facing over the past few weeks, the enemy is attempting to bring a cloud before them. It is a cloud that is bringing doom. It is a cloud that is bringing heaviness and intense weariness and agitation. I then had a vision where I saw God's people looking above and in front of them and seeing this cloud that was dark and heavy, and Jesus was standing next to them and He said "Raise your hands and celebrate, rain is coming! Worship Me! Worship Me! Celebrate! Rain is coming!!"
The Lord is showing me that there are many people with troubled hearts. Some are full of confusion, some fear and some are even angry at God. There are some of you who have been offended which is causing bitterness and unforgiveness. The source of your dilemma is not from God but from the enemy. He is trying to steal, kill and destroy the plans and purposes that God has for your life. His aim is not at you personally, but he is trying to prevent you from advancing the kingdom of God. Your enemies are not people. Your enemies are the powers, principalities, rulers of darkness and wicked spirits in heavenly places. The spirit realm is real. You are in Covenant with the God who created the earth. Nothing is impossible with Him.
I woke up in the wee early hours of the morning hearing the words, "pursue and overtake." After meditating on these words for a while I realized that this was an actual quote from the scriptures. 1 Samuel 30:7-8 "Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, "Please bring the ephod here to me." And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all." God is speaking to His people in this time to "purse and overtake" the enemy.
I have seen a vision in spirit of military tanks in the upper part of the Central United States somewhere. I feel like it is towards the eastern side of that region. I am not sure on the timing of what will happen but the vision has been burned into my spirit in a way that I can see them there in that region. I believe that something of a large caliber will happen that will cause the need to summon the U.S. Military to restrain and restore! I am sensing the release of a higher magnitude weapon being released upon the U.S. And I am hearing, " How could this have happened?
It was about this time six years ago when my husband left. Although in many ways I'm stronger and better, the repercussions still vibrate through my life. In the midst of something wonderful, I can feel the stirrings of fear seeping into my thoughts, the beat of insecurity pulsing through me, and the blending of sorrow and hurt spilling over my heart. Sometimes it comes at the oddest times; sometimes it almost makes perfect sense. The hurt and sorrow have dulled, but the insecurities and fear have not. If anything, at times, I think they have increased. And it drives me crazy! I don't want to live with the repercussions of someone else's actions—I have all the repercussions of my own actions to deal with, thank you very much.
"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast." (Joshua 1:3-4) The obvious and literal application of this verse has to do with natural territory. I believe that this certainly applies to us in the natural sense, however we are going to delve a bit deeper into the spiritual application first. I love the visual imagery of the "sole of the foot treading upon," the idea that something is under our feet.
The Lord is calling forth the building of "Love Communities" within His church. Jesus declared that His people will be known by their love. This will accelerate in manifestation during the next five to ten years as drastic changes will be seen world-wide in church model and structure. Believers will learn to "do life together" and relationship will become more important and carry more value than attending a service. This does not minimize the value of gathering together but the heart of many gatherings will change to become more interactive and relational.
I prayed this morning and asked the Lord if He would reveal more to me about the series of 1's many of us are seeing. I have had this for several years now as well. This is what He said to me. It is a sign to us that He is bringing many "ones" together as One. The 1's represent each of us in the Body being transitioned into 1 Body. I know for me personally when I first began to see them, I would experience warfare and shaking and I just came to a point of when I saw them that I knew I had to stop and just pray. It was a tough time of shaking.
