Inspection!

On the 19th of April I had a dream where there was a long que of people.  These people represented the body of Christ who were waiting for inspection.  Those that had been fasting and praying were immaculately groomed and prepared and waiting for inspection.  They had spent time in intimacy with the Lord. They were radiant and shiny!  I then saw those that had gone before us and passed inspection. They had been given plaques which were mounted on a wall.  I saw names listed.  I knew in the spirit that one of the plaques was connected to a man in the line who was prepared and ready.  A relative had left a legacy in the Arts that he was inheriting.

I then saw those that were not prepared.  Another man came rushing in to give a coat to one who had forgotten his but I don't know if he made it in time.  He had his coat on but his hair was a mess and he was frantically looking in the que for the one it was for.

There was such a sense of urgency - this was important and God was inspecting the Church - who was ready and who would inherit legacies.  Make no mistake the Body of Christ is in a battle and preparation requires a life of prayer and fasting.  To press in to know the high calling of the Lord.  How can we seek Him as our urgent necessity unless we do as he did on the earth.  Jesus led a life of seeking God, prayer and fasting. The disciples did as well. God is calling believers all over the world to press in to Him to call forth the destiny and legacy that He has for them.  Their destiny calling is waiting and prepared and we know that he has a wonderful plan for our lives (Jer 29:11).  We cannot be so engaged in the world that we are unprepared.  We must seek the oil for our lamps while we are able.

 Dreams like this are the trumpet sound/ the shofar of the watchman on the wall calling believers to account - to know that there is an inspection that is happening now.  I believe we are in a season of prayer and fasting. Every person needs a breakthrough in some area of his or her life and prayer and fasting often comes before the breakthrough. If you have any need in your life, you need a breakthrough from God to meet that need!  Prayer & fasting breaks the yoke of bondage and brings about a release of God's presence, power and provision!

So many of us seem to be sleeping - going through the motion with not even 5 minutes of peace to hear the still small voice of the Lord.   Every waking moment plugged into headphones or facebook or distracted by the busyness of life.  Perhaps more than ever before, we have to be purposeful to press in to Him. Urgent needs can trigger prayer and fasting but God is calling a generation of those who will seek Him as an urgent necessity.  Has He been calling you?  Have you been impressed to enter into  a deeper walk with Him?  Do you hunger to see power encounters and His hand moving mightily through your lives?

Psalm 50:23  He who brings an offering of praise and thanksgiving honors and glorifies Me; and he who orders his way aright (who prepares the way that I may show him) to him I will demonstrate the salvation of God.  Selah
