Many of you have already heard my testimony this week of my last CT scan being clear of cancer once again. For those of you who know me, know how the enemy has unsuccessfully tried to take my life since I was a young girl. In the book of Luke, Jesus said to Peter: "Simon Simon, Satan has asked for you that he may sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."
Life can be confusing. Circumstances don't make sense and, sometimes, it can be difficult to know what to do. Far too often, we get hung up on being perfect or on the notion that there is ONLY ONE way to attain our end goal or reach our destination. Beyond that, there are many times, perhaps more often than not, that we feel we have no idea what exactly where to begin. Even as someone gifted both prophetically and with seeing, I still struggle with this. I tend to see the end result, but usually not the detailed, step-by-step process of getting there. It has taken many years, but I have come to understand and accept that not fully knowing is COMPLETELY normal.
My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20–22 I always encourage my church to be mindful of their eye and ear gates. Essentially, this means that we need to be conscious of what we watch and hear on a regular basis. The Book of Proverbs, which is chock-full of God's wisdom, tells us, "My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh."
Through a recent prophetic dream, it was revealed that the Lord is calling forth intercessors to release and declare the word of the Lord so the angelic host can act on His command to take out enemy forces. "Bless the Lord, you His angels, who are mighty, and do His commands, and obey the voice of His word" (Ps. 103:20). This exhortation comes through a fellow prophetic intercessor and writer, Madeline James, from Winchester, Kentucky. She contacted me last week with a dream she had where I appeared with a particular dog in the midst of a sniper attack. As she described this dream, it was evident there was powerful symbolism being illustrated with a charge to intercessors.
Keys to interpreting dreams are found by focusing on the symbols that cause the most emotion in us as we recall the dream. Interpreting a dream is like solving a riddle or putting a puzzle together. The dreamer attempts to fit the pieces together until the perfect fit is attained. This is done by comparing and contrasting symbols; asking questions — "Why this symbol and not another?" and making associations between symbols. An example is, if someone says the word cow some may think milk or beef, others may think bull.
"'Don't be afraid,' he said, 'for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!' As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, 'Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me'" (Daniel10:19). The first time God spoke to me personally, I didn't know it was Him. I thought it was my mother. When I was 5 years old, she would tell everybody, "This is my little preacher!" It embarrassed me at the time. But looking back, it was God speaking through her. After 40 years in ministry, I am still preaching. It's humbling, but the Lord will often speak to us through the least likely people as part of our training before we can hear His voice for ourselves. The Lord uses unique vessels. Like iron that sharpens iron, they often are the keys that unlock our spiritual ears.
A season of double new beginnings begins today! Ask the Lord what two areas of your life do you need a divine reset. Where does God need to come and make all things new? Is it your walk with Him? Is it your ministry? Your marriage? Your career? It's time for a Holy Ghost makeover. He makes all things new. One of my favorite scriptures lately has been Philippians 3:13-14 which so powerfully declares: Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
The purpose of prophecy is to reveal and lift up Jesus, not man. Too many want to make it about the focus on people, and long lines will form to receive a word, but they mostly want a word about them and not their purpose in Him. Truth is, you will never be happy or content with a word from another human, because you will judge it against that human. But when you are really seeking Him, you will hear that word however it comes, and know deep within and with conviction that it is Him. He has a way of speaking to our hearts in a way that changes us and gets our attention. It will be supernatural!
Recently I was in a meeting in London, England. During the worship, I began to smell burning incense in the room. I thought there must be something burning in the church. After walking around the sanctuary, I soon realized it was a supernatural sign and wonder from God. The sanctuary had filled with a burning incense smell, like fire. As I continued to worship, the Lord opened up my spiritual vision to see an angel standing at the altar. He held a bowl in his hand from which proceeded a burning incense. Its smell filled the whole room. Then the Holy Spirit told me to turn to the book of Revelation. I opened right to Revelation, Chapter 8. This is what I read:
The Heavens are wide open, and there is a glory cloud on the horizon. To call it a glory cloud doesn't fully describe the magnitude of it, though. I see it more like a glory pathway, because I see glory being released from heaven to earth, on a mission to reach and impact the world with God's glory. Jeremiah 6:16 speaks about the ancient portals of Heaven, which says, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the Old Paths, where the good way is, and walk in it." I believe there are ancient paths that are opening up, allowing access to the portals of heaven. It's time to step into the fullness of the Supernatural and the glory of God.
