Prophetic pictures: Burnt Flesh, Big Fish, Expansion, Signs and Wonders

A couple of weeks ago I have had several visions which I believe is a prophetic picture of what God is currently doing and what He is about to do.

 

Firstly, I saw ahead on the highway a huge explosion with black smoke billowing up and as I came to it I saw people had been burnt and I could smell the smell of burnt flesh.

 

Our God is consuming fire (Heb 12:29).  His love is in the fire.  


Something the Lord has been talking to us about is the fall of the acts of the flesh, the strength of man.  This vision I saw was a representation that of the fire of Gods love is coming and going to burn away the things of the flesh, the things that were not of the Lord, the things that may have been good in their time but today is a new day.  

Perhaps the familiar things we are so used to that we don't even know it's there.  The way we might speak, the way we might act, the way we might respond that are familiar with us but aren't necessarily of the Kingdom nature we have in Christ. 

The things that are external and perhaps come from a worldly wisdom and mindset but perhaps not from a kingdom mindset and therefore not eternal. 

The things we are afraid of, where things perhaps once happened and now you are no longer functioning as you might have had that not have happened.  He is going to restore what has been lost due to traumas and anxiety.   

The places where our trust has been in man, in what we have, in what we have done or do but not in God.

All these supposedly 'little' things but actually are actually big things.


I believe God is wanting a people led fully by the spirit and not by the flesh and many of us work often as a mixture of both spirit and flesh. The Lord is restoring the 'spontaneity' of life and the first love of the Lord.  The Lord is reminding us to look through the eyes of faith and to step out in that faith, not limiting God because of our lack or our belief system but to take those steps of faith according to his word and see Him come and release of Heaven with our faith with our action knowing that we cannot it, it must take a miracle of God for it to happen.  It's in that place where He will do it, where He will get all the praise and all the Glory.

 

The Second Vision I saw was Jim and I were driving in a campervan to the beach and I saw these waves getting huge and becoming a tsunami and there was going to be a storm but at the base of the beach I saw huge fishing jumping into the arms of a man standing on the beach. There was this sense it was a storm but if we stood back for a minute it would pass by and the next morning we would need a bigger vehicle and one that was our own and not borrowed.


There is a storm coming that with the wind will bring in questioning and doubt and you may want to turn back for a time but don't give up because I believe there is a move of the spirit coming that is going to bring with it many big fish, souls,  many people into the Kingdom of God.  We won’t need to put out a net perhaps but the move of the spirit that the Lord is bringing is going to bring people into His Kingdom that were once in the world.

Now I know this has been prophesied about before and the Lord has been speaking all this year to “get ready, get ready, get ready” and hence we have been preparing but there will be a challenge as the storm comes to overcome whatever may be coming, so let me encourage you to stand through the storm and to believe by faith that when the storm is over it will bring with it many souls into the Kingdom of God and we need to be ready and prepared for the enlargement that is coming.

 

After this vision I saw another vision which contained wonderous signs and wonders taking place but I also saw that some may get jealous as they see others working in signs and wonders and they weren’t.

 

My encouragement to you is try not to get discouraged  but to rejoice with those who rejoice (Rom 12:15) and also don’t rejoice in the signs and wonders but rejoice that your names are written in the book of life (Luke 10:20).  We need to be excited and encouraged as things happen around us but may not be happening with us.  We need to rejoice in what God is doing even if it is not with us, we are all equal in His Kingdom and God doesn’t show favoritism but we all have different parts to play.


And lastly, I was standing on a platform looking at all the different fish that were being sold in the marketplace on our street  and my mother was in my house wanting me to come and do the ironing.  I was like Zacchaeus getting up a tree to have a better look but I was pulled back to do housework.

 

I encourage you and remind myself  not to  get all caught up in the day to day chores of life that you miss out on what God is doing right in front of your eyes.  God is at work all the time and the miraculous might be happening in front of you and you may not even see it because you are focused on the ‘work’ of life.  Like the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42),  I encourage you to take the time to ‘sit’ at his feet, to see what He is doing, to hear what He is saying.  Each of us have different parts to play, you might have a gift in the helps arena, or the gift of administration and somebody else may have a teaching and preaching gift, or a gift of the prophetic, but are equal and needed to see the fullness of the Kingdom of God released.  Let’s recognize how God has made us each individually and differently and honor the different parts of the body releasing each to do their own part and not demanding they be like yourself of like me. 

 

Many blessings to you all in this new season and I look forward to hearing the testimonies of what God is doing in the midst of the day to day on the street, in the marketplace, as He moves by His Spirit and bringing many into His Kingdom bringing with it great joy.

Sleeping while driving?

How many of you have ever driven a car and you become so sleepy that you either need to pull over and sleep or you will crash or you continue to drive only to find yourself swerving to avoid a car that comes upon you or even worse find yourself in a crash. The other day I had a vision where I was preaching and the whole back row in the gathering of men were asleep while I was preaching.   And today I had another vision of driving a car while so sleepy that it was going to cause an accident. This is what is like for many in our spiritual walk in the Lord, we are going around in our lives spiritually asleep and if we continue to do so will have a serious crash at some point not only causing damage to yourself but to other people who you may not even know.  Men particularly I challenge you to take a look at your lives to see whether you are hearing from the Lord, whether you are responding truthfully to the Holy Spirit and living as He would ask you to live or whether

6 legged sheep???

In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine.  When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to  something.  God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible.   That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to praying for a

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

Reading in Acts 7 this morning the story through Stephen of Abraham being told by God to " Leave your country and your people and go the the land I will show you"   So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.  He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground.  But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child." As I reflected on this and the journey of Abraham stepping out in faith into a land that he received no inheritance in but a promise of what was to come for his descendants of which we live in the fruit of that, I thought of todays generations in which often is only doing things that we want to do or that will benefit us personally as we live for 'today' not worrying about tomorrow.  A sense of if it feels good then do it, if it doesn't then we will move on -  perhap

Bus crash in Botswana - Rejoice in the Lord always.

Well we had an interesting introduction to Botswana - yes a bus crash.  It was amazing and most probably the worst accident I have been in to this day (but not bad I am sure to some of you out there) but thankfully the Lord looked after us and protected us. The front tyre of the bus blew out travelling about 120ks per hour and the bus tipped from side to side as it careered off the road into the bus.  How it never hit cars and no one was killed we will never know apart from the protection of the Lord.  We were flown all over the place but thankfully only came out with a few cuts and bruises.  It was literally a miracle that we didn't roll.  One girl was thrown out of the bus in a serious condition, others hurt in various ways but it could have been a whole lot worse.  The Lord gave us peace and we went about praying for people and was blessed especially by one lady who felt the fire of God healing her so much so that she was laughing and crying all at the same time.  Two days ear

"I am ruined for the ordinary"

“I am ruined for the ordinary” A statement that can possibly be to some, come from a place of judgement, or it can be from a place of there is more in the Kingdom of God that I am yet to experience or understand, revelation that I have tasted of something that actually shows me that I have not tasted of anything yet.  A place where there is such a contentment and joy in what I have seen and longed to see and yet a revelation that there is way more "beyond what I think, ask and imagine" (Eph 3:20) and one that spurs me on to seek and discover all the fullness that could be ours in the Kingdom of God. When we as Christians see other Christians going places or experiencing things that we don’t understand or perhaps we have not yet moved in, we can either become jealous of that person and judge and bring them down to our level, exclude them from our lives or we can choose to be excited by what is happening and be encouraged and spurred on in the Lord for the more than ca
