The Lords Army
September 28, 2008
It was a couple of months ago that the God gave me this vision of : Two armies opposing each other. One was big and was made up of humans in a bright light, the other army was a little smaller and was made up of dry bones and they were in darkness. Every so often a beam of light would hit the dry bones and almost instantly they would be transformed to a person and be put into the light.
Now if you will turn with me to the book of Joel 2 : 28 it talks about how young men will have visions and old men will have dreams "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh Your sons and daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, and young men shall see visions"
The army of light (the first army) I believe is God's army composed of His people and each time the light would hit the dry bones I see that as a soul being saved, it is being brought out of the darkness and into the light, out of Satan's power and into God's light and power. Acts 26:18 says " To open their eyes in order to turn them from the power of Satan to God that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." Also in Ezekiel 37: 5-6 "Thus says the Lord God to these bones : Surely I will cause a breath to enter into you , and you shall live . I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you, and you shall live. Then you shall know that I AM the Lord." I think in these two verses God shows us how He is restoring His people and bringing them out of the darkness and putting them back together thru spiritual rebirth. Also I see that the Lord wants us to be like Ezekiel and go out and Prophecy to the dry bones of the world which is the non-belivers and also the church.
God is preparing us for a battle. He has given us armor to protect us. In Eph. 6:10-13 "Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil, for we don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against ,principalities, against powers against the rulers of darkness of this age against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand."
THE ARMOR
Grided wrist of truth - know the truth about God
A breast plate for righteousness - Have Jesus in you
Shod your feet - for standing strong on His word and to be prepared to use His word
A shield of Faith - to protect us From satans firey darts live by faith
A helmet of Salvation - Through Christ
The Sword of Spirit - is the word of God know it
We just need to be strong in Him and trust in Him but our time is short. Romans 13:11 - 12 "And do this knowing the time that now it is high time to awake out of sleep for now our salvation is nearer than we first believed. The night is far spent the day is at hand therefore let us cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light" Now think of it like this: The time is near we are in the 11th hour. Wake up and spread the word to the dry bones, shake off the devil and put on Christ. Tell the world about The Light.
Eph 5:14 " Therefore He says: Awake you who sleep, Arise from the dead and Christ will give you light" Wake up ,rise up and Christ will Give you the Light to see the way he has prepared for you. Eph. 5:8 "For you were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light" We were all once in the darkness and couldn't see the way, but now we are saved, born again, out of darkness, because at some point in our lives some one showed us the light and now we walk as children of light in the Lord . God has given us a misson Church to go out and spread the word of His light to the valley of dry bones (The world and the Church). Mark 16 :15-16 " Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He who belives and is Baptized will be saved ; but he who does not will be condemned"
So my Questions to you today are, Will you be accused of hiding your light? Will you get to the gates of heaven and be asked Why did you hide me? Or will you go out and shine your light in the dark places so others may see CHRIST in you. Matthew 10: 32-33 "Therefore whoever confesses me before men, him I will confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will deny before My Father who is in heaven."
Josh, I remember when you spoke this in church but I really enjoyed reading it. Very good vision...very good message. Thank you, Young Man. You are a Light for The Kingdom. In Jesus,
