A Wilderness Season is Coming to The Body of Christ

A Wilderness Season is Coming to The Body of Christ

I’ve been having a lot of visions as I’m about to fall asleep, and these have come to pass very quickly so I’m sharing my latest one here. A more discerned version will be on my blog. I may make a Youtube video about it too.

In this vision I see helicopters hover in the sky over a desert. The strange thing about these helicopters is that they are a mixture between normal looking helicopters and locusts. Their wings were beating so loudly they could have been mistaken for the helicopter’s blades.

A crowd of people rushed over to them and started to hurl stones at them. The whole scene made me think of the Stargate motion picture when the people of Abydos fought against Ra’s army. But they were no match for the helicopters who simply shot them down. They weren’t killed, just injured. They were left lying there bleeding and in pain.

Then I saw the face of a lion appearing out of the desert sand. It opened its large maw and zoomed across the desert and consumed all the people lying in the sand.

The helicopters were the locusts that came out of the abyss in Revelation 9:3. They didn’t kill the people but stung them like scorpions. In this vision, like many others like them, they were tormenting people psychologically in the desert. For Christians the desert represents a season in the wilderness where they are tried and tested and refined like silver in a fire, so that they lose their impurities (sin/less godly characteristics) and are transformed to be more like Christ. We often refer to this as a season of suffering because it is painful to go through. God will target our weaknesses in order to strengthen us. But some people can get stuck here so live in an unending cycle of suffering. It’s only through an obedience to God and His Word that they can get out of it. Job 42:10 teaches us to forgive those who have wronged us, pray they are blessed and then then we will see restoration come into our lives.

The locusts as helicopters are symbolic of spiritual warfare. In Revelation 9:7 it says the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. In verse 9 it says the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

There will be many demonic attacks on the people of God. This doesn’t look obvious but is manifested through fatigue, chronic body pains, confusion, financial problems, storms (one thing going wrong after another), depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. Some of these attacks can be temptations to go back to old sinful ways such as giving into lust, addictive behaviour, idolatry (putting anything before God), and self-medication (alcohol/drugs).

And anytime a lion appears from a mountain or the sand, it depicts the devil who roams around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). It represents a lure back into temptation to sin. Being consumed by it is representative of being under the oppression and bondage of the enemy and caught in a never ending cycle of sin.

This is a word for the Body of Christ. Many are about to go into a wilderness season where they will be psychologically tormented by locusts with anxiety, depression, despair, or other types of oppressive spirits. And this is how the devil will keep them in bondage.

They need to take this season to draw closer to God, allow the Holy Spirit to work in their lives to put them through a refinement process to transform them. And they need to get into the Word and declare it to the enemy.

In this season people aren’t just being put through a trial so they can be tested, reshaped and remolded, but for discipline. God is separating the wheat from the tares so He can purify His Bride (the Church) to prepare her not just for the Bridegroom (Jesus) but so He can protect her and provide for her as a great shaking comes to the world in 2024, which will be felt first in the Church (1 Peter 4:7). He’s going to make sure His remnant Church becomes unshakeable (Heb 12:27).

The enemy has used a lot of people in the Church to attack other members of the Body who are the pioneers and trailblazers who were forging a path for God’s new move in the Church and in the nations. But God is bringing about their vindication by putting those the devil had used to harm them, delay or even destroy their destiny, through a trial of discipline and deliverance. This is to give them a chance to not be cut off from the Body of Christ.

God will allow Satan to attack them in order to test and train them up in spiritual warfare and to see if they have what it takes to be in God’s Army. And Satan will do everything he can to keep them in his bondage and away from them stepping into their destiny; fulfilling the plans of purposes of God in the earth. So, they will have to put up a fight by resisting the temptation of giving into torment and find an escape through worldly pleasures. This resistance can only be achieved by the power of The Holy Spirit and not their own efforts. And by drawing closer to God’s presence and putting their trust in Him and having faith that He will get them through it.

Some will go through a period of physical isolation where God will keep them from receiving support from others so they only put their trust in Him.

A Prophetic Word of Encouragement For the Remnant

A Prophetic Word of Encouragement For the Remnant

Remnant, 

I know you are battle worn and weary. You have been facing attack after attack by the enemy, sometimes without rest. Through your thoughts and your own friends, and family members. Even your own church. 

But I am taking all that away and restoring balance to your life. 

You may not know that this is for you. For those of you that do, you feel like you’ve been fighting an uphill battle and it seems like the promises I showed you would never come. It was a struggle to get through every week because I placed you in a place you felt like you didn’t belong in. But I would not let you leave (Jeremiah 42:10).

But I have you in a season of waiting (Gen 37:18-41:39-41, 1 Sam 21-2 Sam 5:2), to train you up to take on the responsibilities stepping into those promises entails (Esther 2:11-17, Dan 1:35,17-20). You feel you’re unskilled and I’m asking too much of you. At the moment that is true, but if you patiently wait and follow the nudgings of My Spirit and listen to the people He is speaking to you through, you will find out your steps. 

Don’t listen to those voices who say you’re not good enough. You’re too weak and not cut out for the work I have set aside for you to do (1 Sam 17:33). Pay no heed to the doubts of your fellow man who can’t even imagine you doing the types of things I have told you you would do for me. Don’t let them discourage you, Little Ones. My humble ones (Matt 18:5-6). Prove them wrong through your continued obedience and larger than life faith that says I can overcome any challenge I face. I face it head-on. 

For that is why I have anointed you, Issachar. To have both the mental and emotional strength to take on whatever challenge lies ahead of you (1 Chron 7:2,5). Even persecution and rejection. Having your heart broken in a thousand pieces, particularly by those you love. I will pick up every shard and place it back in its rightful position and repair your whole heart as good as new. 

Even when those you love end up hating you, it will not destroy you. I will protect you from them. I will protect you from harm.

Wait on My Spirit to provide you with the people and resources that will help equip and train you up to step into the role I have set aside for you before the very earth you walk on existed (Jeremiah 1:5). 

I know you’re tired. You are facing the battle on every side. It seems like it will never end. But I will lift you out of it, as long as you cling to Me. Come meet me in our secret place and I will rejuvenate you. I will refresh you and speak the very words you need to hear to give to people who cannot hear them, so that they may know what is to come. To prepare them, inspire them, and warn them (1 Sam 8:9)

I have chosen you for a very special calling. One that involves undivided devotion to Me and complete surrender. It’s what you have done already, good and faithful servants. 

Wisdom will give you protection, direction, joy and save you from evil people: Proverbs 2:2-15

Stay on the paths of the righteous: Proverbs 2:20-21

The Lord is with you: Joshua 1:9, Proverbs 18:10, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 43:1-2

God is your safety: Job 11:18, Psalm 61:1-3

Going through suffering will bring us to the glory that awaits us: Romans 8:18

Let us not grow weary in doing good: Galatians 6:9

The Holy Spirit will be your guide: John 16:19

God keeps His promises: Joshua 21:45
