April 09, 2010

Greetings brethren,

I received a vision from the Lord whilst in prayer on the 9th of April 2010. I saw the nose of a space shuttle; the tip of which was black, and the rest white, and printed on the outside edge of the black area was ’17 JANUARY’. I petitioned the Lord for greater clarity & confirmation regarding the meaning of the vision, and the Lord later on in the day ministered to me that the vision was to serve as confirmation for something.

On the same day during my scripture reading, I read in 2 Chronicles 29 the account of how king Hezekiah called for the sanctification of the Levite priests and of the house of the Lord in order to restore the priesthood to Judah. This process of sanctification took place in the first 16 days of the first month, after which he rose early (i.e. on the 17th of the 1st month) to, along with the people, offer sacrifices unto God and worship Him. This chapter then also mentions how this was a time of consecration for the people.

2 Chronicles 29:31 ‘Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD…’

Then today in prayer, the Lord ministered unto me the significance of the vision as confirmation regarding the latest move of the ministry. The date is not literal, but rather symbolic, showing forth to perfection (7) and completion (10), which I believe to relate to the time of consecration we have been partaking of. And January speaking of the first month, as the beginning of a new fase, which I believe stands in confirmation of the move towards mobilization which the Lord has now initiated through Bishop Rina for team blue.

I was reminded of how the launching of a space rocket begins with words in the line of “INITIATING countdown…”, and so I believe the Lord is saying that we have now moved from the time of consecration into the time of initiation for mobilization of the church. This also then shows forth that there would be only a short ‘count-down’ period before ‘lift-off’, being the time of great power & mobility for which the Lord has been preparing us.

Praise God for continually showing forth unto us the mile markers of our progress upon His prophetic path that leads to the coming of our King!

2 Chronicles 29:11 ‘My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.’

‘Blessed are they who grow not lax in the time of their watch, but as faithful watchmen keep their posts, that the city might be found prepared & protected at the breaking of the new day.’

In His grace,

Apostle Erika
2 Chronicles 29:36 'And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.'
