The Word/Phrase:
Death of a Vision

CONTEXT USED IN:

When we see someone going through a turmoil where everything they set out to do in ministry fails and they seem blocked on every side, the Lord will often give revelation and have us let them know,
“The Lord is taking you through a death of a vision so that you can let the old die, so that He might resurrect a new and more glorious vision!”

Templates and Triggers

AUTHOR:

ProphPreparation 5:20-21
"I would like to speak here about moving from death to resurrection. We looked in the previous chapter on Prophetic Preparation at how God brings us to the cross; about how He brings to death those things in us that stand in the way of our spiritual progress. We spoke about things such as death of a vision, where a vision is born in you and you build up your anticipation of what you are going to do for God. You get excited about it, set your plans in motion, you are all ready to go, and suddenly God says, "Kill! Stop! Cancel! It is over, it is not going to happen anymore." You get all miserable and upset and do not know what is going on. You say, "But I am sure that God wanted me to do that."

21 Why does God bring you to death of a vision? Because your hard disk is full of junk."

CONTEXT USED IN:

When a student is struggling to die and justifying their sin and flesh, we will often say “Die Already!” meaning that they must stop struggling and understanding what is going on and willingly submit to the cross and the Lord’s dealings in their life.

The Prophetic Key

AUTHOR:
Les D. Crause

ProphOffice 8:4-5
"When is the key given? It is given on completion of the prophetic preparation. What is the prophetic preparation? Well, the chances are if you are reading this booklet you have already read the booklet that came earlier in this series on the prophetic preparation. We went into it in quite a lot of detail. It had to do with the 'hell' you have been through for most of your life, or for a good few years. It had to do with the way you have been crunched, and the way everything has gone wrong; and the way people have opposed you and put you down, and hammered you into the ground. It is about the way you have had to die to self again and again; about how you were put on the cross and God had to keep breaking your legs because you kept kicking up and trying to stay alive.

5 You know what I'm talking about if you are a prophet. You have been there. Maybe you are still in the middle of it and you are saying, "Why should I put up with this? Why should I go through all this nonsense?" Well, do you want the key? What is the way to receive it? It is through death. It is the way through the cross. It is the way of coming to the place where you are no longer concerned about your own interests and your own desires; where you are no longer concerned about making a name for yourself; where you are no longer concerned about what people think about you; where you are no longer concerned about using your ministry to have interest in yourself and vindicate yourself and take your anger out on other people.

DavidDynamic 10:16-20
"{ Dying to Everything }

17 How do you overcome? This is the good part.

18 "I'm ready Lord. I see it. I have these needs and I'm ready to overcome them. How do I do it?"

19 Then the Lord says, "Die already!"

20 Those are two simple, yet deadly words. You will overcome in death, apostle. It is the only way you will overcome, because when your flesh is crucified with Christ and it is no longer you that lives, Christ that is within you can rise up in Spirit and in glory and power. You will overcome in death. That is where you will overcome."

CONTEXT USED IN:

The Lord will often lead us to release a person into resurrection after He has taken them through a season of death to self and death to their ministry. We will often be released to say, “It is time to put the grave behind you and to move on to resurrection!”

Resurrection is a Choice

AUTHOR:
Colette Toach

ProphPreparation 10:41-42
"That is where you should be standing. It is not good enough to just resurrect. It is not good enough to just be okay. It is not good enough to just get by. It is just not good enough to have one revelation, one vision or one prophecy. It is not good enough to dream one dream. It is not good enough to just get by as a prophet with one word of wisdom every now and again. No!

42 The Lord has more for you than that. He has more for you than sitting in the back of the church getting one little word once a week. He has more for you. If you are happy to simply come through a little test and stay there and not grow up and be glorified and take on the promotion that He has given you, you will not progress to anywhere. If Jesus had not ascended up into heaven and been glorified, He would not be seated at the right hand of the Father right now. He would still be sitting on earth."

The Word/Phrase:
Leg-Breaking

CONTEXT USED IN:

When a prophet or apostle in training continually resists the chisel strokes of the Lord and His leading to the cross, He will often have us warn them,
“If you do not receive this will and submit to the dealings of God in your life now, you will have your legs broken”
or
“If you do not die to this thing now when the Lord is using those that love you to correct, you will have to face a leg-breaking from the world that does not love you!”

BOOK:
Prophetic Preparation and Training

CHAPTER:
The Prophetic Preparation

AUTHOR:
Les D. Crause

ProphPreparation 4:52-58
"{ The Necessity for Leg-Breaking }

53 Jesus did not take that long to die. He hung on the cross and He said, "Father, into your hands I commit My spirit." And the Scripture says that He yielded up His spirit and He died. The thieves who were crucified on the cross with Him, did not do that. They struggled and they battled, and because the sun was going down and they did not want to leave the bodies on the cross on the Sabbath, the Scripture says that the guards came to break their legs.

54 Why did they break their legs? I always used to wonder. That was really mean of them. I mean, as if they guys have not suffered enough, now they still want to come and smash their legs? It was so they could not push up on the cross and keep breathing, because as soon as their legs were broken they would just have to hang there and suffocate to death and they would die.

55 { Learning to Die Like Jesus }

56 Jesus was different though. When they came to Him they saw that He was already dead, so they did not have to break His legs. They just put a spear in His side to make sure that He was already dead. So when God begins to move on you and bring to death in you all of these things of the flesh that stand in the way of you being used as a prophet, you have a choice. You can struggle, you can fight, you can kick. You can push up against it and moan and groan and bewail your situation. Or you can say, "Hold it! I think I'm being crucified here. I think the reason for this is so I can die."

57 It is quite simple really. You just do like Jesus and you say, "Okay, Father, I get it. Lord, you're trying to bring me to the end. I die now. I let it go. I give it to you. I hand it over to you and commend my spirit into your hands and I let go." And you can die in minutes. It is so easy.

58 You say, "Well, it's easy for you to talk, you haven't been there."
