Prophetic intercession: The Church does not need to be afraid of the fire of God, but instead we should run into it. He will make Himself known to us and be with us in the fiery furnace.
Revelation 5:11-14 was read by one and later in the evening confirmed by another.
Prophetic word: The Bride of Christ was to cease feasting on “junk” food, instead of the pure food which is the Word of God. Follow-up prayer: Help us, Lord to eat food from the King’s table
and to discern the difference between “food” which is clean from that which is unclean.Scripture reading: Jeremiah 2:13 was read and then prayed a prayer of repentance that as a Church, we’ve committed two evils in turning aside from the simple truth of God’s Word and the message of repentance and the cross and in exchange, dug for ourselves cisterns to hold stagnant, dead water which can never sustain us. Another prayed that we return and dig up the wells that the enemy had filled up and we would restore those wells until none are left unstopped.
Observation made: Some would ask, “Where is the God of Elijah?” but the real question is, “Where are the Elijah’s of God?” Follow-up prayer: Lord, raise them up!
Repentance: A pastor in our meeting stood in proxy for ministers in general repenting for turning aside from being the clear voice of God in the earth and succumbing to seeking the approval of men instead. His presenting himself in this way was confirmed by another member.
Scripture reading: John 7:37, 38 was read and then a follow-up prayer: Lord, let your pure Word dwell in us and may it flow out of your people to the lost.
Scripture reading: Isaiah 54:7, 8
In a reference back to the earlier Jeremiah 2 prayers, a brief vision was shared. Big name preachers had huge wads of money caught in their throats and it was choking them. A large hand (God) was stretching every neck and wringing the money out of each throat, forcing them to regurgitate it so as to disperse those funds to ministries which would be faithful to put it to the uses the Lord intended. It was very painful to the “hot shot” preachers but it would save them ultimately from death and likewise be a blessing to those who would rightly put those offerings to kingdom use.
Another shared that it as though the Church is about to be resurrected, but with that, we must also be loosed from the grave clothes which will restrain us unless they are loosed.
Someone else had a vision of two men who represented pastors. They stood back to back with each other, possibly one protecting the other. A golden thread began to encircle them which at first appeared to be a good thing but later, as the thread continued wrapping them, proved to have them so bound so as to be unable to move! God’s Spirit intended to have them free, yet their freedom was turned to bondage. (The meaning was not quite apparent, however, perhaps it was a picture of ministries protecting each other from outside forces. That is good until ministries try to shield each other from God’s probing.)
Scripture reading: Proverbs 13:12: Follow-up prayer: For too long, the Church as been weighed down waiting for the day the Lord would have His way in the earth. However, now, Lord, let this be the hour when you no longer restrain yourself, but show forth your glory in the earth.
Scripture reading: Jeremiah 12:5: We are to be prepared for the hour we’re coming into.
Prayer: That we would be bearers of Your glory in the earth. Cleanse us for that purpose.
