SEASON OF THE REVOLUTIONARIES PART 2
“A Dream on August 24”

Early in the morning On August 24th
I dreamed that a “new breed” revolutionary was on a body of water that appeared
to
be a moderate to large sized lake and he was working on what seemed to be
a whole network of scaffolding set up in the middle of the lake. There were
planks to walk back and forth throughout the network. There were also barrels of
chemicals all around this network on the planks with the little “caution -
flammable” warnings on the side of the barrels.
There was a definite sense that this person was working for some one else and they did not like this scenario at all. Several times he said things like “I do not like this”; “This should not be done like this”; “This is just not good at all”. He was very uneasy about this whole thing and especially disturbed about the barrels being there, but this seemed very clear that it was his job or assignment and he was doing his best to be faithful but at the same time totally uncomfortable with the entire process.
Then it seemed like the next day he arrived at the same place and the water level in the lake was so low that much of the bottom was actually showing and these places were all dried, parched even cracked. As this person stood stunned, he looked and saw the network of scaffolding in the lake; over half of it had fallen forward and the rest of it was twisted and leaning heavily. All the barrels were now in the water with the contents spilled out, which at this point the water was so contaminated you could not even go in it.
You could tell he immediately wanted to start pulling the barrels out of the water and start cleaning up but the contamination was way too much. At this point he was standing on one of the dry patches of the lake bottom that used to be what would appear at least 20 feet under water, he was praying and trying to decide what to do and as he stood there shocked and grieved there was a certain realization that there was nothing he could do. As he turned to start walking up the dry embankment, he noticed that there were a few pieces of clothing; stiff, crusty, and stuck to the dry parched lake bottom.
Then he saw an older man who carried a strong spirit of strife and offence, this guy was just glaring at the revolutionary with pure hate and disgust as though this whole thing was totally his fault. He was so devastated about the lake that he could not even look at the angry person much less respond to him in any way.
As the revolutionary walked up the embankment to leave the decimated lake bottom, there was dead dried grass laid all the way over flat to the embankment. It was very clear that the entire eco-system of this lake was completely dead. He was praying and talking to the Lord and he said “Father, this will take a lifetime of commitment to this community to restore this lake.” I immediately woke up … wide awake, and it was just after 3:00am, the 4th watch of the night!!!
Prophetic Revelation & interpretation
The lake / water speaks of
humanity, the scaffolding was a man made system - Methodologies of elevation.
The barrels with the flammable contents are actually people full of
traditional, religious, carnal knowledge: compare this to
1Cor 3:12-15 -
Now if any
man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble; 13
Every man's work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
shall try every man's work of what sort
it is. 14 If any man's work
abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any
man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be
saved; yet so as by fire.
Jesus Himself worked in this religious system for a short time and He definitely did not like it at all and spoke out against it, even rebuking the religious leaders many times. Now here comes the hairy part.
The lake LEVEL was so low you could see the bottom in many places and the water that was left was very shallow! Half of the scaffolding had fallen over and the rest was all twisted and leaning heavily. The barrels were scattered all around in the shallow water, with the contents spilled out.
Look at Luke 19:41 – 44: And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench (or a wall of debris) about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
This is what the Lord is saying to me at a time when I was not even thinking about these particular things or concerned about them at the time, and all of this was triggered by a statement that I had read just recently. This person felt that the problem over the last three decades with the prophetic is they have been an immature and renegade bunch of people that have damaged the church. The Lord instantly checked my spirit big time and said "That statement is not completely true - at that time, I was restoring the office of the prophet within the body of Christ and I was placing them in local bodies, ministries and organizations for them to submit, serve and continue to develop, also for them to help many leaders and people shift into a whole new era with fresh vision. Many pastors and leaders would not allow my wisdom, so they refused the new generation of prophets and held onto the old and many Churches were split and ministries were hurt. Not because of the - prophets - but mostly because of the pastors and leaders who would not shift with my spirit". Yes, there were some counterfeits and imposters but these are always around, I expect my leaders to know the difference, yes to disable the false but empower and allow the true!!! Not to disable everything just because there were some false!!! I am now restoring the Apostolic and sending my "new breed" revolutionaries into the body: - again - to be planted in local bodies, ministries and organizations to submit serve and continue to develop as well as to help many leaders and people to shift into a whole new era with fresh vision. If they (the new breed/ generation) are not careful and do not walk in my wisdom - without personal agendas or hidden motives - they will cause many churches to clutch onto the old in defense, they will split and ministries and organizations to be hurt. it will be the pastor’s and leader’s fault for not allowing me to move and shift my people as I choose, but the blame will fall on the revolutionaries"
Go back and look again at Luke 19:41 - 44 it was the city's fault for not recognizing the day of visitation. Not Christ’s fault for visiting them!!!!
The Lord is commissioning, sending and planting His new breed revolutionaries into the body right now with a whole new level of revelation, strength, fresh vision to facilitate the "shift" into a whole new era and if pastors and leaders do not allow the wisdom of the Lord, which is this ... choosing the new generation of revolutionaries to help the older wineskins get renewed and to go to a whole new level of victory over the enemy. Then there will be unprecedented hardship and struggle. What will happen is that local bodies, ministries and organizations will become just another empty system of religion, totally void of relationship with Christ and have no overcoming power.
Now understand, I did not say “younger” generation … I said “new”!! Just because someone is younger in the Lord does not make them a new breed revolutionary, and just because someone is older in the Lord does not make them an old wine skin. I have seen many who are young in the Lord who and have an old wineskin concept of Christ. I have also watched many who are older in the Lord and have allowed the Lord to renew their vision with fresh revelation and great grace to understand “present truth”.
Unfortunately there are many who are in the older generation of apostolic fathers in the body who are older wineskins that cannot and will not go any further without the "new mindsets". We can clearly see this from the pattern in the word when God dealt with the older generation of Israelites while coming out of Egypt.
Out of all the older generation only TWO made it because everyone else hardened their heart in unbelief. Heb 3:12 – 19 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, (G570 unfaithfulness) in departing (G868 to keep one’s self from, absent one’s self from) from the living God.13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
“To him that knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin” Jam 4:17. We know to hear His voice today and not to harden our hearts in unfaithfulness or withdraw our passion from following His will, Even if it means getting out of “our box”. This new breed generation desperately needs to humbly submit to and learn from the old - just as in the wilderness the new generation learned from Joshua and Caleb. In this present day, both the old and the new will not do the other any good unless they both tabernacle in the "womb of the morning" Psalms 110:3 "Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth"
The Lord spoke to me earlier this year and said "The only way to make the old wine skins new and - because of the acceleration of time - make the new wine skins mature and experienced - is to abide, dwell, and remain in the womb of the morning". The womb is the place of conception and birthing - the morning is always new; if we walk in that place we will always be conceiving, pregnant; we will always be walking in the newness of life (Rom 6:4) and birthing something fresh and new (2 Cor. 5:17)
Continuing with the interpretation of the dream ... there was also some clothes all stiff, crusty and stuck in the mud. These were not whole suits or complete outfits. They were scattered articles of clothing, a shirt here and a sock there, a pair of pants there; these were necessary pieces of fragmented mantles - left stuck in the mud and lastly; the angry guy who carried a spirit of bitterness and offence, the enemy will always have plenty of these around to point the finger at you and blame you for everything. At this point the revolutionary realized that the entire "eco-system" of this "lake" was completely dead and he cried out to the Lord that it would take an entire lifetime of commitment to the community to restore the lake... Again: completely reflecting Luke 19:41 - 44. Then I woke up - wide awake and it was just after 3:00am. The 4th watch!!
I want to conclude by sharing
this prophesy given back in 2002 by: Apostle Shawn Woods, President and Founder
of Apostolic Intercession International Ministries - Alberta Canada; who
I have just met on Sept. 9th: 3 weeks after the Lord gave the dream
and interpretation!!!
There is coming a change, a shift in the Spiritual realm that will shake all the
earth. Foundations will be tested, foundations will be tested. I am seeing a
flood, a mighty flood coming to the Body of Christ and those foundations that
are not build in my Son Jesus Christ will be not be able to stand. But those
whose foundations are built on rock will stand in this hour of flood; those who
stand will reap the remnant blessings in heaven; those who let up their sails
and ride the wind will see who they will become; and those who open themselves
to the kingdom of God, as reality will be rewarded greatly in my Kingdom.
The old is being torn down, the old ways are being torn
down. There is a shipwreck coming soon, there is a shipwreck coming soon. Do not
be discouraged; do not be discouraged, for this is the tearing down of the old.
Be open to My change, for the old is being transferred to the new, the new wine,
the new anointing, the new wine skin. Paradigms will be destroyed, old
foundations will be destroyed and I the Lord God am rebuilding the foundations
and restoring what's Mine, that you will claim. Apostles take your place;
prophets take your place. Be ready, and be prepared, for I am calling you out in
full force. I am restoring these offices that have been rejected for years.
Apostles arise and lay the foundation of My kingdom, Prophets speak forth the
truth to lead. Evangelists go forth into your nations. Pastors feed My sheep as
I did, and teachers, instruct and plant My seeds.
I see a massive deliverance, a cleansing, a washing. My
fire is in my breath and is delivered by My wind. Open, open, open your lives,
spread your wings a far, as an eagle; trust in the Wind to fly, Children of God
now is the time for you to fly. (Mature and grow up).
Like a Mother eagle forcing her eaglet out of the nest
to fly. This is what I am about to do to my children. Spread your wings, be
ready, you are about to fly with My wind and breath. Hallelujah!!
You are seeing the fulfillment of My word spoken a few
seasons back. (Prophecies for Canada). You are about to see what I have begun,
what I have planted in you a few seasons back. You will see the flesh fall under
your feet because of the glory of Me, in you, you will not be able to stand in
your prayer closets because of my Glory that's in you, you will not be able to
stand in your church because the Glory in the Wind!!!!!!! My fear is falling,
falling across the land, in your church, in your city, in your town; the true
revelation of who I AM is in the heavenly places and on the earth will fall!!!!!
For this fear is wisdom and strength to you, CLAIM my wisdom, CLAIM my
knowledge, for they will be stability in your times, for they will be strength
in your salvation, and My fear is my treasure in my sight.
Hallelujah!!!!! Glory to Jesus!
I sincerely pray that you will prayerfully consider the severity of this dream and interpretation, the word of the Lord given to me personally in late August, the prophetic word given by Shawn Woods in 2002, and the prophetic exhortation the Lord has absolutely compelled me to pour into part 2 of this article. I know that I have totally obeyed the Lord by making this public. My prayer is that you will be inspired and motivated to seek the Lord with all of your heart, to be open and available to the Lord and present truth, as well as walk in the newness of life! Please remember it is always Gods prefect will to bring us into the fullness of His good pleasure and my motive is to facilitate His goodness as much as possible, and to as many people as possible! Amen!!
