The Tear, the
Trenches, the Binding
When this encounter came, I was not in prayer or spending
time with God. It unfolded before my eyes like a vivid movie. It was surprising
to me especially because I was not in any type of mindset to receive it.
However, it was extremely clear. Even though many visions may not unfold for
years, decades or even centuries, I am seeing it happen before my eyes even now,
which is why I feel the need to share it. Lastly, I do not claim to have
complete interpretation or understanding because only parts of that have come
to me and know the Lord will reveal more in time. Please note that this vision took place at the end of 2016.
December 30, 2016
I saw a large angel with white wings riding on a
white horse coming out of the eastern sky of our nation. He was about the size
of a state. He had a sword drawn. He landed on the East Coast and began to run
towards the middle of the nation. The land began to shake and tremble at his
riding.
I then saw the enemy with black
wings coming out of the western sky of our nation on a black horse. He was also
the size of a state. He landed on the West Coast and began running towards the
middle of the nation. The land also began to shake and tremble at his riding.
The two riders clashed in the
middle and stuck their swords into the ground creating a large divide down the
center of the country like the land was torn in two from North to South. I
could see warfare along the divide and specific cities and communities being
hurled into battle. God said the enemy may make news headlines, but I have
planted churches along this line that will have great victories in the Spirit.
I saw Jesus himself was walking up
and down this line in the trench. There were people fighting along this line, both
His enemy and His partners could see Him. When they did, they fell in the
trench. For example, if a person who was fighting for the Lord and saw Jesus
they would jump into the trench. If someone was fighting against the Lord and
saw him, some would repent and jump, or they would harden their hearts and rage
all the more. The trench began to fill with water and that water started
binding the wound together where we became stronger as a nation than ever before. I felt
like he said 2017 would be the year of trembling ground. I was also reminded
about the Civil War being divided into North and South but this line divided East and
West.
That was the end of the vision.
After this the Lord had me pull up a map and draw a line down the middle. He
told me to watch for the cities that fell on or around that line. Some would
include Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, Topeka, Omaha, Kansas City. I would even say
Minneapolis is around that line. You can think back the last 4 years and even
recall chaotic events that have happened in some of these cities.
Summary and
Thoughts
There was coming a great divide in
the nation that would split it into two pieces. Before that split, we would
experience deep shakings, almost like birth pains. The divide was both a trench
and a wound. A trench is where war is often fought. And a wound is an injury
that is result of some other impact usually resulting in brokenness. In other
words, there was a war going on around a wound. I thought it was interesting
that both the angels (God’s and the Devil’s) had swords that did not fight each
other, but they struck the ground. I feel as if it represented two things being
put into the land: God’s truth and Word, and the enemy’s lies and deceptions. Both of those things cause a split as well and disruption.
My
favorite part and found the most hopeful and beautiful was what Jesus was doing
on the scene:
1. Jesus was revealing himself to all.
2.
Jesus was in the trenches.
3.
Jesus was in the wound.
4.
Jesus was bringing healing.
Christ is in the midst of the war; he is also in the depths
of the pain.
He is the only one who has wounds that are deep enough to heal the
deep wounds of the nation and bring together the divide. (Ephesians 4:14-16 and
Isaiah 53) The only one who can bring salvation.
There is no other way and he
is enough. I thought it was beautiful that those who saw him joined him in the
trenches into the wounds. How often do we try to avoid pain? How often do we
avoid war? The thing is there was war going on along the sides of the divide
but it was not effective. Healing came when people saw Jesus and joined Him
where He was at. This is a display of intercession. Literally standing in the
gap. Christ did for us through His death and resurrection but also
continues to make
intercession for us. (Romans 8:34)
Lastly, the water was release
almost like a healing river. It reminds me of Ephesians 5:26: “that He might [g]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.”
His water ran through and brought healing and renewal. Like washing out and
cleansing a wound.
There are parts of the vision that He were clear and that
there would be literal news of chaos around this. There would also be a great
work of God that he has been preparing his people for. Take heart! Keep your eyes on Jesus and follow Him with all your whole life.
In Love!
