A Plan of Action for the Body of Christ
Date Given: May 3rd 2000
The Army
The battlefield is set in array. The faces of each
warrior are set before him. With their gaze set as a flint, they look
upon the enemy as one. There is no malice in them, only determination.
With a sword of golden fire at their sides, the magnificence of their
garments gleams in the sunlight. Just to look upon them in array makes
one squint from the brightness. Their sashes of blood red blow in the
breeze and the gold trimmings of their armor leave one in awe. As you
catch a glimpse of their eyes of blazing fire, the fear of God seizes
your heart, and you know that you look upon that which is wonderful.
Here stand the royal army of God. An army of war and
an army of strength and might. Armed, ever powerful and undefeated. As
one they stand. They stand in wait.
The War
Opposite this field, in a distance, a tumult is seen.
A picture of ultimate destruction. There the enemy strike their swords
and spears into the lives of man. There is murder, there is bitterness,
and there is much pain. Blood flows freely and confusion reins. The
terror on the faces of those who are trodden into the mud and the pain
of those struck from behind while they flee in ignorance and confusion
makes you cringe as you realize that here lies the Body of Christ.
Broken, torn apart and left to the wolves to be devoured.
Yet there stand their redeemers. The army of God,
ready for war. For what do they wait? Why do they look on as the war
continues before them? Why do they not take up arms and snatch the
victims from the hordes of hell? Has the Lord not promised us to reign
in this world? Has He not promised us the inheritance of the ungodly,
has He not promised us the blessing of Abraham?
Oh Lord! Your people perish for lack of knowledge!
How they strain and struggle under the oppression of the enemy! Jesus
how your heart burns for your Bride. How you weep over her anguish and
her pain. What is to be done? Lord what must we do? How do we overcome,
how do we reach out and save your precious bride? How do we teach her
how to overcome?
Speak the Word!
" My word is living and powerful and is sharper
than any two edged sword, says the Lord. Piercing even to the division
of the soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow and is the
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is no power on
this earth that can stand before my word. There is no army of hell, or
any attack of the enemy that can withstand the power of my word being
released into the earth.
Now look. Look as My army is set in array. As My word
is uttered into the earth, so shall they draw their swords and so bring
to the end the tyranny of the enemy against My people. But My army
stands in wait. They wait for you to speak the Word! They wait for the
command. They wait for the word that authorizes them to bring about
change in the earth. I have given enough power and warriors to meet you
at every need. To overcome any demon of darkness. I gave you at the foot
of the cross, the weapons and authority to overcome the attacks of satan.
Yet you have hidden your armor and wait instead for another to fight the
war.
You look upon the blood shed and you shake your head
in grief. You utter words of discouragement as you look upon the slain
and you whisper words of shame on how many of My people are trodden,
rejected and torn by the wolves. ’When will the deliverer come?’ you
cry. ‘When will one come who will save us from this affliction? Oh
Lord do you not see our pain? Do you not see how our enemies come on
every side and destroy us in flesh and in spirit?’
YOU are the Deliverer for Your People.
So did My people cry to me in the wilderness and in
the days of the judges and each time My spirit would come upon a man and
so Israel would be delivered for a time. Through the anointed power of
one man the whole Israelite race was redeemed and brought to victory for
a moment. Yet here stands My Body. Each of you having My anointing
within you. Every single one of you having, what just a single man had
in the times of Old. If a single man could bring defeat to an entire
gentile army, how much more then could you as a Body, defeat every enemy
on this earth?
Yet you wallow and you cry out as the Israelites did
in times gone by: ‘send us a deliverer!’ Rise up church of God! For
your deliver did come, your deliverer is here and is dwelling in your
very own heart! YOU are the deliverer for your people. You carry the
sword of goliath and the sling of David. You carry the authority to
bring the enemy to his knees.
The Command Shall Go Forth!
So cry out to me no longer in defeat. But lift your
head and say to yourself. ‘I will deliver! I will rise up Lord. I will
speak the word!’ Then as my mighty servant David you will come against
your enemies and they will bow before you. Indeed then the mountains
will tremble and the oceans will roar at the sound of My name! For you
shall stand and speak forth the words I shall place in your mouth and
the command shall go forth. My army shall draw their swords and fall
upon the enemy with no mercy. There is not a single one that will escape
the edge of the sword and there is none that will not be repaid for the
pain and suffering they have inflicted on My people.
Did I not pay back the philistines and the Moabites
and the ammonites for their tyranny against Israel? Am I not the same
yesterday, today and tomorrow? Shall I not then avenge you, My people?
Shall I not raise up a standard against those who despise you? Shall I
not fight on your behalf? Shall not all My promises come to pass as is
written in My word?
Why do your heads hang low then? Why do your hands
tremble in fear and discouragement? Look at My word and see I am a God
of My promises and rhema! I am a God who will indeed see all these
things come to pass. I am a God who will indeed show My power before all
mankind. And you My children are the vessels I will use.
You my beloved are those precious vessels I will use
to show this world an example. For you are as a city set on a hill and
you are beautiful to the eye. You glisten in the sunlight and you bring
much joy to My heart. So shall I lift you up as an example to this
world. So shall I unite you and bring you into one body, that you might
stand in power and stand as an object of fear and awe before the people!
So shall it be that when you speak that the earth will obey and that
when you walk, that the earth shall tremble.
A Shaking is Coming
For indeed a shaking is coming. A mighty shaking
throughout the earth. Such a shaking that has not been seen since the
beginning of time and one that shall not come again. The Kingdoms of
this world will be broken before the name of the Lord and nature will be
brought into obedience by the spoken word of the Almighty. No power
shall stand before you, My children; no enemy shall be able to stand
before you without trembling.
For the time has come that when the word is spoken
that it is spoken with power. That when My will is carried out, that it
is carried out in power. That when My body rises up as one and in love
that the very sky will open to embrace it. For you have remained hidden
until now. My glory has remained invisible to this world. But now it
shall be revealed before all man. Now shall the invisible plan and power
placed within each of you come to life in a magnificent way! So shall
you see in each other, how you fit into one another. So shall you
recognize in each other My will and purpose and My plan. No longer will
you see with the eyes of this world, but you shall instead see with the
eyes of My spirit.
You shall see truth as I am truth and you shall be
love as I am love. Then shall the boundaries of man fall away and so
shall my bonds of love be embraced. For my plan is wonderful and all
embracing. There is not a soul of My body that is not invited to be a
part of it. So come My beloved ones. Gather now to your King. Come and
take of My hand says the Lord and open your mouth to speak My words and
watch as the enemy is defeated before you! Then come together as one.
Fitting into one another as a body of many members. I invite you, I woo
you, I entice you to come and taste of Me – for I am good.
I offer to you a wonderful plan. I open My hand to
embrace you and invite you to come that I might cover you. Come little
ones. Come into the fold. Come and see the glory I have prepared for
you. Give me your heart. Give Me your hand and let me lead you into the
greatest time of the age!"
