Prophetic word for the IPC, November 19, 2013.
I see in a vision the world covered by a great blanket of darkness like a large dark cloud.
I see 4 kinds of principality spirits deployed by Satan in action causing confusion, devastation, uncleanness and hopelessness. The 4 principality spirits are, namely; 1. Deceiving spirits 2. Wicked Spirits / Blood thirsty spirits 3. Unclean spirits 4. Spirits of heaviness.
The deceiving spirits cause division among peoples, setting up political leaders in nations, rulers of nations and civic leaders against one another. They cause animosity among religious and ethnic groups, separating people according to caste, class, language and cultural differences. They also cause division in local Churches and the body of Christ by spreading erroneous doctrines and heresy.
The wicked spirits / blood thirsty spirits cause international aggression and unrest resulting in wars nation against nation. They agitate peoples and language groups, which culminate in blood-letting civil strife and civil wars. The spirits of wickedness are also active destroying human lives and shedding the blood of the innocent through abortions and infanticide. Wicked spirits also cause natural disasters, devastating storms and earthquakes destroying human lives. They spread incurable diseases, plagues, cause famines, starvation and death. Satan's sinister works are devised to kill and destroy lives, entire communities in the thousands before people come to Christ.
Unclean spirits bring such putrid uncleanness, sexual promiscuity and perversions, same- sex marriages and in human behavior. The sanctity of the holy institution of marriage and family as God ordained it is under heavy demonic attack. Young people are trafficked into sex slavery, abuse and child labor.
Spirits of heaviness lay unbearable burdens on people, causing them to grope in the darkness of hopelessness. Depression, frustration and mental illness become strangleholds on teenagers and young adults forcing them to commit suicide. Tormented men and women, young and old, are strongly demonized and forced into drug addictions, suicide bombing and to gun culture destroying others and themselves.
I see adults in the traditional Church battling the forces of darkness relentlessly. They sometimes succeed in winning the battle, but they grow weary in well doing, like Moses of old, whose arms got tired as Joshua and the children of Israel battled against the Amalekites. When Moses' arms became weak and tired, Joshua and the Israelites started losing the battle. However, when his arms were lifted up by Aaron and Hur, Joshua and Israel won the battle. I see the youth as Aarons and children as Hurs. God is calling the elders and the leaders of the Church to raise up, equip, empower, encourage and release the Aarons and the Hurs, the youth and the children of the Church, into the front lines of the battle.
As the Church heeds to the voice of God and acts in obedience to raise up, empower and release the youth and the children to spiritual leadership, prayer and spiritual
Warfare, I see two things take place in the heavenlies;
1. The heavens open on the elders, youth and children, bringing about inter-generational strengthening, unity of the body of Christ, and the gap being filled. I see a mighty army rise up ready to wage warfare fearlessly against the forces of darkness.
2. I see God's warring angels, legions of them being released and deployed to join the emerging leaders, the inter-generational army of prayer warriors in partnership, about to strike the enemy lines. I see Lucifer's evil armies finally defeated and a mammoth harvest of souls in the millions being gathered in before the sinful world with the prince of the power of the air is finally judged. I see the bridegroom celebrating with the bride, the ingathering of the huge harvest of souls at the great marriage supper of the Lamb which no man could count.
The vision and prophetic word delivered at the IPC-sponsored UN prayer initiative Nov: 20, 2013 - Leslie Keegel.
I see the picture the Prophet Ezekiel saw (Ezekiel 37) of the valley of dry bones. I am seeing this vision within the context of the Body of Christ.
In the vision of Ezekiel, the dry bones were scattered everywhere in the valley. I see a similar disconnect, a brokenness, a separation signifying a tri-generational fracture between the adults, youth and children of the Body of Christ. The fracture is caused by the Adults/ Elders of the Church functioning on their own, leaving the youth to find themselves on their own. The children are seen as the Church of the future, and therefore it is not their time to function in the Body of Christ. As a result of this sad disconnect, the body of Christ is relatively dry and immobile, or functions not to the full, God-given potential. God is speaking to the Church and would ask us Elders (Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists) can this Body live, breathe and be mobile again as God intends it to be?
I hear the Lord call us Elders and leaders in the Church to bring the tri - generational Body of Christ together and to prophesy over it, to cause each part (Adults, Youth and Children) to start functioning, connected together. He would ask us to pray prophetic prayers of blessing, provide adequate spiritual covering, equip, empower, affirm and release the youth and the children to function as God intends them to (Joel 2: 28 ) As the elders heed the voice of God willingly and do what God is asking them to do, I see tri-generational unity and connectedness taking place, a healing of the fracture in the Body of Christ and the long existing gap being filled.
As the Body comes together through the prophetic action of the Elders, the strong wind of God (His breath) will blow from the four corners of the heavens on earth, healing the fracture and bringing health and life to the Body. The Body would rise up therefore in the strength of the Lord and drink from the fountain of life from the heart, the very bosom of Father God. As the Prophet Ezekiel saw, the healed, rejuvenated army of God would then rise up in full potential, life and action. I see the connected tri-generational body of Christ rising in the last days to do battle for the souls of men, women, youth and children. The body healed and empowered tri-generationally will know their God together, become strong and will do great exploits, defeating the enemy and his purposes, to gather in the end time harvest. (Daniel 11:32).
