I sense that there has been a spirit of discouragement come against the Body of Christ this last few weeks, especially against Leaders in the Church. The sort of discouragement that leads to loss of hope and faith.
I saw a picture/vision of many people being stuck in mud. They grew weary trying to escape and some just gave up and laid down while others kept on fighting but grew weaker and weaker. Some would take a few steps and think they were free but they would sink down again in the next mud hole ahead. I could see their despair in their eyes as they cried out to the Father for help.
There were many Blackbirds (Crows) overhead screeching and flying around. They began to dive bomb the people below who were stuck, as they were easy targets, and the birds would fly at their face and peck at their eyes. This whole vision was in black and grey and very dark and dismal. I sensed that the people including Leaders, were looking around at both the deep holes that were appearing and the birds flying and attacking. They were being distracted in their journey by looking at these things.
However, up ahead was a path which was straight and clear. It was lit up with an inner light and had greenery all around t contrasting starkly with the darkness around. A man appeared on the Path and began to rescue people and help them get free of the mud. I realised it was Jesus. As the people looked to Him the Glow around Him became brighter and it became a beam of light that hit the Black Birds overhead with a searing light which made them disappear.
As people became free they started rescuing others from the mud and soon everyone was working together to help one another. As more got on the path, it widened and became even lighter. As the light touched the ground, new growth appeared all around and soon the landscape became verdant and green.
The great throng of people linked hands and began singing and praising God. Up ahead, leading the crowd were the Leaders who had been bowed down and beaten with the cares of life. What a contrast!! Now they were living and thriving once more. I could see the joy in their eyes now instead of despair. They had a great love for those following and spoke gentle words to them. There was much rejoicing and singing as the Body came together to Praise God.
The Leaders went amongst the people, encouraging them to do great exploits and occasionally they pulled others to the front and prayed over them to lead the people and speak words of wisdom. As they travelled down the path, they would come upon groups of people who were chained and gagged and some who were living in snake pits. They freed them with gentle words of encouragement and they became one with the others. There was a wonderful feeling of unity, peace and love in this part of the vision.
Prophetic Word
Many of God’s People are being distracted from their walk with God through heavy attack from the enemy. The Crows in this vision represent evil spirits who are trying to take away spiritual sight from God’s people which causes death. This is sucking out their joy and their very life. When they look at their problems in the natural, then they are going to feel ‘stuck’ (ie in the mud) and discouraged. When they look unto Jesus the author and perfector of their faith, then they will gain fresh spiritual insight in this hour and fresh vision for their future. They will gain new strength to withstand every fiery dart of the enemy.
As they re-enter the purposes of God for their lives, then there is immediate expansion in the area of their destiny as they birth the seed that the Lord has given them. (the path expanding)
There is a greater unity and love coming onto the Body of Christ as they look to God for answers and not to man’s solutions. The empty religious practices in many of our congregations has brought darkness and death to people’s souls but as they look to the True Light, not only will they be transformed, but the whole earth will be renewed and made whole with the Light of Christ.
Leaders who have been given a new lease on life and are working with others will begin to see an expansion of their ministry and there will be a new birthing throughout the Body of Christ as they fix their eyes on Jesus and come into unity. We have been in Transition but now it is time for a new birthing of those seeds planted long ago. They have been dormant for many years but now the Lord is saying it is time to give birth to your dreams. It is time to enter into your destiny! It is a time of expansion and growth! It is time for Leaders who have been bowed down by many cares to be free once more and to give new hope to those around them with encouraging words that will bring new life into the Body.
No longer competition, but Completion. A completion of all things, a culmination of the ages. A completion of all things coming together at the end of this Age, both in your lives individually and corporately. It is time for the Corporate Man to arise in love, power and new life.
I am injecting new life into My Church says God and I am causing a restitution for all that has been lost and out of favour. A restitution upon My Church and upon My People who have been lost and hurt. I am birthing new Shepherds in this hour who have My Heart and they will shepherd My People with Love and Care and they will restore all that has been lost. They will heal the broken hearted and bring restoration to My Body and a Transformation across the nations of the earth so that all men might glorify Me says the Lord God Almighty. Some of these will spring up like new grass in a spring rain. They will have no name or lineage but it is I who promote, not man, and I am birthing new shepherds that will seemingly arise from nowhere. Yet I tell you, says the Lord, that they have been tried in the furnace of My affliction and they are totally sold out for me; the things of the world hold no sway over them at all.
When My Body comes together in unity and peace then the rest of the world will know Divine Love as they see the Churches unite in purpose and love and follow Me with their whole heart. I am sending My Spirit ahead and He will bring many to justice and He will begin to soften hard hearts and bring true awakening and transformation in this hour.
So be bold! Be strong! Be patient and persevere under affliction because this is just birth pains before a great and mighty outpouring I am bringing on the earth in this coming season.
Thank you for these encouraging words. Personally, I have been attacked by the evil one and he left me when I commanded him in the name of Jesus. I believe as the prince of darkness he is using all his wiles to distract us and so slow the work of God. But our God is faithful and he is bringing his Body into life.
