A WARNING, AND THE REDEMPTION OF THE OX AND THE PLOW

The Chinese New Year is tomorrow February 12, 2021 in which they move from the year of the rat to the year of the ox. We have seen unrest in the earth and nation rise up against nation, though in all of this I believe the Lord has revealed an interesting thread of REDEMPTION. 

On January 31, I woke up in the night hearing and seeing May 12. It was highlighted red and circled in the vision. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this is how a date appears when it is actually ‘the day of’ in a smartphone calendar. May 12th was red in the vision and literally can be interpreted “on that day”. When I searched for the significance of May 12, 2021, I found on the traditional calendar May’s birthstone is the emerald. Then the Lord led me to search out the Hebraic calendar and I discovered this day is a Jewish holiday, Rosh Chodesh Sivan. This is a celebration of acceptance of the Torah with a single mind and heart, like a marriage contract between God and Israel. This is the covenant at Sinai. “In the third month after the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt, on that very day, they came to the desert of Sinai.” (Hebrew4Christians.com) “That very day” refers to Rosh Chodesh Sivan. In 2019 I had a vision of revival and unseen gems coming from deep in the earth. I saw rock that looked ordinary from the outside, though it was split in half and I saw what would resemble unordinary agate in form on the inside. Also in the vision an antique ring was given to me of a green gem in a specific cut I had never seen before, and I believed it was an emerald of sorts. The color green is also symbolic of new life. As a “feeler”, I could literally feel this revival deep in my soul. The month of May will be a birthing season for many, as they have intimately served the Lord’s heart in the secret place, it will be a time of revealing the unseen mysteries that were given in covenant with Him.

After reading “In the third month after the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt” quoted above, in my mind I laughed, wondering why the Lord seemed to be talking to me forwards to go backwards. So I looked up what the date would be three months prior to May 12th, and it is February 12th – essentially meaning this is when there is an exodus from our captivity. When I researched I discovered this date is the Chinese New Year, where I wrote above they move from the year of the rat to the year of the ox. On the Hebrew calendar the holiday observed is Rosh Chodesh Adar. This is traditionally a time to turn away from sin before the start of the new year of spring. “The month of Adar is a season given to us each year to begin preparing for the holiday of Passover”, essentially a time of “spring cleaning”. (Hebrew4Christians.com) Passover dates for 2021 are March 27 – April 4. The Lord has also spoken to me that we will have an early spring. I believe this is spiritual, and even on our Gregorian calendar we celebrate Easter / Resurrection Sunday on April 4, eight days earlier than last year. Pay attention! As the Lord spoke to me a year ago, He is aligning and synching us with HIS systems. Eight is the number of New Beginnings. Come out from the old and prepare your temple for His visitation and glory.

Interestingly, the Ox on the Chinese calendar is a word that also refers to cows, bulls, and neutered bovine family such as common cattle or water buffalo (wikipedia.com). On February 9, 2021 I had a warning vision of a prophet who was on a bull.  The prophet was riding the bull with another male and a female, and he had his arm in the air holding his cowboy hat flailing in the air, while smiling and laughing carelessly.  Then the bull thrust all three persons to the ground to the right of it’s side. Just prior to having this vision I kept hearing, “like a bull in a China shop”.  I believe this signifies the Lord breaking three-fold agreements that exult themselves against His knowledge.  “We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God..” 2 Corinthians 10:5. The Lord desires that all should repent, though He resists the proud (2 Peter 3:9, James 4:6). I see the Lord’s redemption in that He is the bull, and His strength will break wrong agreements. “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12. This is a season when He will continue to remove and establish kings and leaders, and those who have misrepresented Him. The Lord’s words are both precious and holy, and He will thrust those away from position who have removed their covering (cowboy hat) and acted recklessly in His Name.  “Then appreciate the gracious kindness and the severity of God: to those who fell [into spiritual ruin], severity, but to you, God’s gracious kindness—if you continue in His kindness [by faith and obedience to Him]; otherwise you too will be cut off.” Romans 11:12.  When I asked the Lord about this vision, I heard “steer”.  In Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, steer is defined as “a male bovine animal and especially a domestic ox castrated before sexual maturity.”, also known as a bullock, or bull calf.  I believe the Lord is saying He is removing the immature leaders who have aimed to ‘steer’ the prophetic movement, and He Himself being the very Spirit of prophecy will steer, cleanse and plow forward the prophetic movement. 

A beautiful time of restoration is at hand, and all in the body have an invitation to become equally yoked with the Lord in this hour. When animals are unequally yoked, by height or strength the task will take longer or will not be completed at all.  In some instances the animals go around in circles though they are attached in the same position at the neck they can not act as one. This is the time to be united as one with the Lord. Become one with Him, and you will see the confusion and soulful hardship dissipate, enter into blessed fruitfulness that will sustain you. The ox was a levitical animal and highly esteemed in Biblical times because the ox’s labor equated sustenance. “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11: 28-30. Be encouraged, for “much increase comes by the strength of an ox” (Proverbs 14:4), lean and rely upon the Lord as you plow together for the harvest to come.

Reformation Begins In The Mind

Many have prophesied we are in a new era, this is the season of the reformers. Well how do we execute a new pattern we haven’t seen before? Our thoughts shape our reality, so true reformation begins in the mind, and we have to think like we have not thought before.

A Word for the Church:

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Old patterns are not working. Old systems have expired. Old wine skin has burst. Move on and upward!

Let Me Burn

If I could explain the benefits of a “yes” to God, I’d die a hundred more times so you would know He is good. Somewhere in the flames of sacrifice you transition from yielding your flesh unto burning to beholding His glorious frame.

The heat of His presence tangible, now nearer still He speaks from the eternal flame. I’d die all over again and as many times required because it is here that life really begins. There is no other that can captivate my being, His longing for me draws me closer and in my longing for Him He returns.

My soul and my spirit pray, let me always stay here fastened to Your heart.

The Eagle, The Hawk, and The Spirit of Prophecy

On the morning of December 31, 2020 I was asking the Lord what He was wanting to say for 2021 and I immediately went into a vision of an eagle and a hawk perched next to each other.  The eagle moved its left leg to grab at the hawk’s right talon (positioned to the eagle’s left).  My sense was that eagle was trying to slightly agitate the hawk, then I had a sense that eagle and the hawk were meant to be ‘working in tandem together’.  

As I continued to do some practical research I found that typically eagles and hawks do not get along in the natural, though I already knew spiritually both have great positive meaning and significance, especially prophetically because of their keen eyesight.  I also discovered eagles typically fly alone or with their mate and hawks will sometimes fly in flocks known as ‘kettles’.  The differences in hunting technique was also significant, “Both eagles and hawks have keen eyesight which facilitates detection of food. Eagles fly and hunt their prey in the air and carry it in the claws to the nearest perch where they will tear it apart and eat. Hawks often hide in the trees until potential prey appears. Once the prey is detected, hawks rapidly leave their perches and attack by using the element of surprise.” (www.softschools.com).  We know that eagles soar higher than hawks mostly due to wing span, though after reading about their hunting strategies it was more clear to me that the Lord is wanting to use the strength of the eagle and the hawk to work together as both have different strengths and ‘territories’ of air.  

I believe this year the Lord will unify the prophets from different streams and camps like we haven’t seen before (a theme that was in several of the prophetic words I released last year), to work together to capture ‘prey’ (our adversaries and the enemies strategies) and it will be through the unity of same offices first within the body and eventually greater unity within the fivefold. The eagle and the hawk are both raptors belonging to the same family though different species. Eagles are known for their strength and muscular legs- I believe the eagle will strengthen the other camps of prophets and five fold. It may feel like agitation at first, but they will strategize and work together expose and ‘hunt’ the Lord’s enemies. 

Finally, “Eagles have a wingspan of 8 feet, while most hawks have a wingspan of less than 5 feet.”. The number eight representing restoration and new beginnings, and the number five representing grace, I believe the wingspan’s are symbolic of the depths and heights the Holy Spirit will take us in this next season. The Holy Spirit revealed another reason why the eagle agitated the hawk was because He was using the eagle to broaden the wingspan of the hawk to grow into the full measure of 5 feet that would enable the hawk to soar to higher heights. Similarly to iron sharpening iron, there is a growth process and while there is a grace for the restoration of all things, there is a specific grace for the restoration, new beginning and growth of the 5-fold that will be ignited in growing pains and propelled by unity. “As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].” Proverbs 27:17 AMP

 Going Low In The Fear Of The Lord

On January 8, 2021 I had a vision of coal being touched to the mouth of the prophets like Isaiah and simultaneously heard, “may the fear of the Lord be restored to your hearts”. On the 1st month of the year and on the 8th day the Lord time stamped the vision with Scripture from Isaiah 6: 1-8 ; six being the number of man, one meaning the first or beginning, eight representing restoration and eight is the wingspan from the eagle mentioned above; I believe the Lord is saying the restoration of man can only first be completed when his heart and lips are cleansed. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the Spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus and both lead us unto holiness. Clean hands and pure hearts will lead us into the longing of encounter and experience and will open our eyes to receive His beauty.  To ascend the hill and soar higher we must first go low in worship, in reverence, and in the fear of the Lord. (Psalm 24). There is a new beginning for the prophetic movement that will be established in the fear of the Lord. 

“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew. And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.” And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am ruined, Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, “Listen carefully, this has touched your lips; your wickedness [your sin, your injustice, your wrongdoing] is taken away and your sin atoned for and forgiven.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”” Isaiah 6:1-8 AMP

Soaring Above The Storm and Landing By Faith 

The prophets who are willing to be purified will be sent, and are being prepared for greater ascension. January 14, 2021 I was in a worship service and went into a vision where I saw a lone eagle perched. Then I looked again and he had circular flat ‘blinders’ or blacked out goggles on.  Connected to the sides of the goggles were long metal attachments that had tires on the bottom of each one, similar to what you would see on a plane when it lands.  When I first asked the Lord about it He gave me the Scripture in 2 Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight”, then He showed me that He was taking the eagle or the “prophets” to a higher level and He said the goggles were for protection.  Protection from debris of storms and protection as the eagle’s eyes were not yet acclimated to the  atmosphere as he ascended into new and higher levels. 

The Lord then began to say that many are dependent on their gift of seeing, but this is a time to be completely dependent on Him! The mature prophets will use the storm’s wind to lift themselves higher, as does the eagle, and will ascend above the clouds. Even the strongest and most seasoned prophets are being called to blindly and trustfully flow in the wind of the Spirit.  An eagle is disoriented when he can not see and will sometimes even faint when it’s eyes are covered, but the Lord declares Isaiah 40:31 over you – It is in the waiting upon Him and in the mystery of the unknown you will be strengthened and not become faint. The breathe of Lord will carry you, it will be by the wind of the Spirit you will ascend, and the wind of the Spirit will safely land you.  The date stamp for this vision was 1.14, and according to biblestudy.org the number 14 implies a double measure of spiritual perfection (2×7=14). 

As three is the number of the Spirit, I believe the Lord is giving us three themes to take away from the above three visions: 

  1. He is bringing together and unifying prophetic circles, the Church body, the five-fold and sharpening the gifts.
  2. He is purifying, cleansing and restoring the fear of the Lord to prophetic voices. 
  3. He desires to take the prophetic movement to new and uncharted territory and through testing and dependance completely on Him we will land safely into the new thing in which He is calling us into. The goal of ascension is to encounter the Lord and His glory face to face.

Love Is Not Passive

Walking in Love does not equate passivity! Love is an action verb and requires discipline and rebuke on occasions. (Hebrews 12:6, 2 Timothy 3:16). Love is fiery just as much as it can be peaceful. Song of Solomon describes love as passionate, jealous, and stronger than the grave. (S of S 8:6). Love motivates and it protects. Walk in the Spirit and let His pure love lead you, it may look different than you think.

I had to be put in hiding for a time as a child, and it was my father and family’s love that took action. It may have looked unloving to some at the time, even to ‘governmentmal authority’ but it was for my protection, and I thank the Lord my father was not passive! Let us by God’s conviction and grace be done with passive Christianity.

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives”, do not confuse or mix the world’s peace with God’s peace, for they are very different.

UNDIGNIFIED

For the last couple of weeks David’s words “I’ll become even more undignified than this” have been replaying in my heart. I have been heralding for almost a year now of the censorship, shadowbanning, etc. on social platforms. Now… I would think most of you would believe me at this point. 😉

However, that’s not my point! It did bother me at first – loss of engagement, suppression of my voice as it seemed I was randomly chosen to oppress. Strong words, but that’s the reality. But then I noticed it was happening other places too, and now I am grateful. Yes, grateful. Perhaps it was meant to be this way so I may continue in my growth process of dying to myself and systems.

We all experience warfare manifested in different ways. For me last year’s warfare was mainly coming against my gifting through suppression of my voice and other similar challenges not limited to FB. One thing we can all agree on, systems are changing. As I continue to let go of the old, I am freer than ever because man’s opinions do not have a hold on me (and I am ever trying to yield and let go).

I like the fire. I always have… and somehow by God’s grace the suppression has only made me more abandoned to truth. It’s heated… but in the most delightful way. As the fire purifies, forges, and strengthens; I will unapologetically become even more undignified than this…

You must celebrate the presence when He comes. If you do not revere, worship, and honor Him how will anyone know you belong to Him? Love and light do not hide. Some may mock you for expressing yourself before the Lord ‘with all your might’, some may despise you for speaking truth, for obeying the Spirit. Some may laugh at you for loving the Lord your God with all of your heart. But this is the word of the Lord, He will not be mocked – read the passage below and be encouraged.

“Now King David was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets. As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart. They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes. When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!” David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.” And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.”

Do you know Him? Do you love Him?

Have you told Jesus you love Him today? The One whom the government rests on His shoulders, the eternal King of all kings who reigns forevermore; fullness of promise, the sacrificial Lamb slain and risen, beautiful Savior, Holy incarnate God who dwelt among us and befriender of sinners – Do you know Him? Do you love Him?

What about the Father, have you told Him you love Him today? Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent; the Creator of mysteries low and expanses high – so terrifyingly wonderful yet He carries you in His womb and tattooed your name on His hand. He is more loving and welcoming than you can imagine. Do you know Him? Do you love Him?

And my precious friend Holy Spirit. Have you told Him you love Him today? Wrapped in light and glory; comfortor, counselor, teacher, joyful presence, connector, revealer and sealant … there are not enough adjectives to relay what a tremendous gift Jesus sent us. Do you know Him? Do you love Him?

Death precedes a miraculous resurrection!

Death precedes a miraculous resurrection!

How many times did Sarah die to her unbelief in order to see her dream of bearing children come to pass? What then if she gave up because the promise wasn’t manifested in her timing? What if she gave up on the word of the Lord? History would be different and so would you and I.

Die to ‘your’ dream, die to your unbelief and when the time is right, the Lord will make it happen. He does not lie. He watches over His word to perform it.

“Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died.”

Psalm 20 In your day of danger may the Lord answer and deliver you.

On January 10th I heard a warning in the Spirit, “everyone will remember where they were, like 9.11”. I had been receiving many warnings for some time at this point, but this made me almost stop in my tracks. I was walking through Target (ironically), and could not wait to leave! As I’ve shared before, often we receive warnings to divert a plan of attack, pray for mercy, etc. My hearts intention is not to scare you, but rather prepare you. Today in a very Holy and solemn moment I received Psalm 20, which is actually very encouraging and in the passion version titled, “a song of trust … for the end times”. When I read verse 4, I knew I was meant to make public the warning. “May God give you every desire of your heart and carry out your every plan as you go to battle.” Psalms‬ ‭20:4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The great spiritual battle before us is really only beginning, and I do pray and believe for protection for our nation. Wether we see war intensified in only the spirit or in the natural as well, I will reiterate as I have over the last several months:
1) intimacy is your great weapon
2) marry the presence of God (Psalm 91 ‘He who dwells in the secret place of the most High shall remain stable’ ~ dwells is defined in Strong’s; sit, remain, dwell + married, marrying.)
3) do not fear, the Lord is coming as a dread warrior
4) call on the Name of the Lord and you will be saved

I go into detail on those points in a prophetic word I released Sept 1 https://ablazeglobalproductions.com/2020/09/01/wait-now-im-coming/

“In your day of danger may the Lord answer and deliver you. May the name of the God of Jacob set you safely on high! May supernatural help be sent from his sanctuary. May he support you from Zion’s fortress! May he remember every gift you have given him and celebrate every sacrifice of love you have shown him. Pause in his presence May God give you every desire of your heart and carry out your every plan as you go to battle. When you succeed, we will celebrate and shout for joy. Flags will fly when victory is yours! Yes, God will answer your prayers and we will praise him! I know God gives me all that I ask for and brings victory to his anointed king. My deliverance cry will be heard in his holy heaven. By his mighty hand miracles will manifest through his saving strength. Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in the Lord our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory! Our enemies will not prevail; they will only collapse and perish in defeat while we will rise up, full of courage. Give victory to our king, O God! The day we call on you, give us your answer!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭20 TPT‬‬

Sustained on The Word of God

There is temptation, there is trial, and there is testing ravaging in this hour – but when you know the Word of the Lord, it will be become your sustainability. If you continue to stand against your adversary with the Word of God, His very Words will sustain and keep you. You will come from the trial purified and ready to work His miracles; not by the temptation of the enemy but by the Spirit of the Lord. You can not work the miracle that needs to transpire in your own strength. Completely yield to the Spirit of the Lord – for it is not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit His divine will can be accomplished. (Zechariah 4:6).

Resist the temptation to perform under works and yield to His Spirit, for yielding to performance and your flesh will profit nothing! When Jesus was tempted in the desert, He was tempted by Satan to take stones and create them into bread. Satan knew Jesus’ miraculous power. Bread is symbolic of provision. There are many demands in America for answers, for ‘words’, for a MIRACLE – but if we synch ourselves with Jesus’ example, we must endure the trial and Trust the Word of the Lord. The Word of the Lord will provide!

“And the tempter came and said to Him, If You are God’s Son, command these stones to be made [loaves of] bread. But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. [Deut. 8:3.]”
